In a PE setting this will involve maintaining health and safety standards at all times whilst ensuring students are having fun undertaking physical exercise in lessons.

While we aim to keep you in the PE department as much as possible cover supervisors also do general cover lessons throughout the school for other subjects as and when they are needed.
