About Us
At Pensans we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best. We are a vibrant, inclusive primary school where curiosity is celebrated, kindness is expected, and learning is an adventure. Our staff team is united by a shared commitment: to nurture confident, resilient learners who are ready for the next stage of their journey, both academically and personally.
Role Overview
We are seeking to appoint a committed Cover Supervisor/HTLA to take a proactive role as a key member of our school. The job will include stepping into the teaching role when needed, covering PPA, leading small group interventions and helping to drive learning across the school. Working predominantly with year 5/6, you will be a steady, encouraging presence for pupils in their final year of primary school—helping them master key skills, prepare for SATs, and transition confidently to secondary education.

- Have a commitment to inclusive practice and supporting SEND needs in KS2.
- Model excellent classroom practice and assist other support staff. Encourage the use of ICT to advance students’ knowledge during the lesson.
- Be happy to contribute to the wider life of the school, e.g., School council, enrichment clubs.
