The Role:
You will deliver planned booster sessions that align with the Year 6 curriculum and assessment calendar.

You will help maintain calm starts, tidy resources and smooth transitions.

The School:
This ‘Outstanding’ Selly Oak primary runs consistent routines and uses shared resources across the year group. Reading has protected daily time with explicit vocabulary teaching. Maths is sequenced in small, connected steps with frequent low-stakes checks so methods are consistent between classes. Year 6 teams co-plan and share model answers, past-paper item banks and lean revision packs, which keeps preparation efficient and ensures your sessions dovetail with whole-class teaching. New colleagues receive a clear induction, weekly bite-size CPD and focused coaching with precise, usable next moves.
