Deliver engaging, play-based and structured learning in line with the EYFS framework
Assess and track pupil progress effectively
Plan collaboratively with the parallel Reception teacher
Attend staff meetings and contribute to phase discussions
Support transition into Year 1 at the end of the academic year
