• To remove triggers that promote challenging behaviour, including adapting the environment and tailoring activities to meet the individual's needs.
• To provide a way to calm the individual down when they show early signs of distress, e.g. using the 5P profile.  
• To take every opportunity to develop pupils' language, reading, numeracy and related skills as directed by class teachers;
• To be enthusiastic and self-motivated and be able to work as part of a team;
• To share a drive and commitment to work in partnership with children, staff, parents and other professionals.

We can offer: 

• excellent continuing professional development;
• supportive staff who are receptive to new ideas and initiatives;
• a welcoming French speaking school where children are happy, safe and well-behaved;
• friendly and dedicated staff, parents and governors;
