Lunchtime Supervisor

We are looking to appoint a Lunchtime Supervisor to aid the supervision of students during lunchtimes and ensure their safety and wellbeing. Successful candidates would be expected to maintain orderly and appropriate behaviour from our students during the student's lunch break on the playground or MUGA areas. Successful candidates may be required to offer a first aid service during lunch to deal with any accidents that may occur and they are dealt with safely and quickly., The successful candidate(s) will be required to undertake an Enhanced and Barred Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and register the DBS on the Update Service.

We are looking for an approachable person, who will engage with our students and ensure that there remains a calm and respectful environment around our School. The person should have presence and be willing to engage with our young people, observant of their surroundings and be proactive to address any issues should they arise between our students. There is no specific experience required for this role. However, as you will be working with young people, prior experience working with young people would be beneficial.

We are a split-site school, with a short walk of approximately 8 minutes between sites, and on-site parking is available. Alperton Community School is a large, mixed 11-18 academy, with over 350 students in our thriving Sixth Form. Due to our growing popularity and continued success, we have recently expanded our intake to 12 forms in each year group. We are a truly inclusive school, reflecting the wonderfully diverse and vibrant local community we serve. Our students are exceptionally well behaved, hardworking, and ambitious to succeed. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (July 2021), the school was graded Good, with inspectors noting:

• "Pupils like coming to school and they enjoy their lessons."
• "Pupils can focus because they feel safe."
• "Leaders' expectations of all pupils are high."
• "Pupils behave well in school. They focus on their learning in lessons. Pupils follow teachers' instructions and listen to one another."
Student progress at both GCSE and A Level has consistently been well above national averages. Outcomes for disadvantaged students closely match those of their peers. In 2023, our Progress 8 score was 0.82 (well above average), and our A Level progress placed us in the top 1% of schools nationally. A high proportion of our students go on to study at Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities. Attendance across the school is excellent, and the percentage of students continuing into education, employment or training is significantly above the national average. Our achievements have been recognised with several recent accolades, including the 2022 Pearson Making a Difference Award. We were also shortlisted for the TES School of the Year and won the TES Maths Team of the Year. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a friendly, highly supportive, and committed team within a culture of success and professional growth. The school offers outstanding support for Early Career Teachers during their induction year.
