Cover supervisors
Cover supervisors are suitably-trained school staff who supervise pupils when teaching staff are absent. The role may vary depending on whether the role is undertaken in a primary, secondary or special school. Cover supervisors look after a whole class of children and conduct pre-planned lessons for teachers that are absent, providing guidance, advice and classroom management. No mandatory qualifications are required to become a cover supervisor, however experience and professional attributes are considered.All cover supervisors can access a range of CPD and training at Ealing CPD online.
