4. To promote the values and achievements of the school to the community
5. To be aware of and follow the company Equality, Safeguarding and Health and Safety Policies

The expectations of the role:
7. Assist the teacher with writing and monitoring pupil learning plans.
8. Review and implement interventions which enable pupils to understand and meet their targets.
