The governors of this highly successful and oversubscribed school seek to appoint an enthusiastic, inspirational and talented Cover Supervisor from November 2026. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and very successful team working in a school with excellent facilities and very high academic standards.
As a Cover Supervisor you will be responsible for supervising students during short term teacher absences and assist in preparing the learning environment and the materials required. You will cover lessons of any subject, using the cover work set by the teacher, or small group / 1:1 interventions; set high expectations to motivate and challenge students whilst managing behaviour effectively and promoting a positive learning environment.
The successful candidate will also be responsible for organising the daily cover rota for absent staff and contacting teaching supply agencies to arrange supply staff and should therefore have strong communication and organisational skills. In periods where cover is not required you will support in the classroom as directed.
The school is consistently amongst the highest performing in the country in terms of progress and currently has the top Progress 8 of all schools in North Yorkshire.
The last Ofsted Inspection highlighted the following:
The exemplary behaviour of students makes an exceptional contribution to learning and is supportive of all. Behaviour is outstanding and reflects the school's values.
SFX is an aspirational school where attainment is well above the national average. Pupils in all groups make outstanding progress from their various starting points.
Please note you do not need to be a regular attender at Church but you do need to be happy to support the Christian ethos of the school.
