Your aim will be to ensure the quality of our academic provision to build students' confidence in actively using the language in the classroom and beyond. You’ll be supporting the teachers as they plan for lessons, tracking attendance and ensuring the academic facilities and materials are in good order, observing lessons and providing feedback. We’ll expect you to be the academic face of the school visible to and available for students, working closely with the Center Manager and Activities Manager to ensure that teams work together producing a seamless summer for our students
