• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, colleagues and the wider school team to support pupils' progress.

• Communicate effectively with colleagues and, where appropriate, parents and carers regarding pupils' development.

• Support pupils' preparation for the transition from primary to secondary education.

• Maintain accurate assessment records and contribute to relevant planning and reporting.

• Uphold the school's policies, procedures and safeguarding requirements at all times.
