The role of the lunchtime supervisor is one of the most challenging positions within the school due to the difficulties some students experience during unstructured times.
Our role is to work with lunchtime supervisors to increase confidence and develop awareness and an understanding of how to communicate effectively with students with additional needs. We consider the physical welfare of staff by teaching awareness of personal safety, and guiding supervisors to recognise the most effective strategies to remediate the difficulties they face.
We adopt a collaborative approach to support staff so that they feel confident and supported.
What We Offer
- We deliver bespoke lunchtime supervisor training and ongoing support.
- We listen to the difficulties staff are experiencing, and support them to better understand the needs of the children. We also offer observations to best facilitate this.
- We deliver an initial training session to include an action plan to consolidate and further develop best practice. We then offer a follow-up session to evaluate the impact of the training and support with any challenges faced whilst applying the changes set out in the action plan.
- We offer evaluations of current awareness and future training needs.
- We can offer ongoing face-to-face support throughout the year.

“We’ve had lots of training and we usually have to just go in, sit down, listen and write – this was the best we’ve ever had because we got to do things.”
