Staff who release teaching staff + supply teachers

Our Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), Mrs McQuillan teaches classes when the class teacher is not available and also provides cover for some staff during Planning, Preparation and Assessment time. Mrs Paula Jackson is a qualified teacher and provides PPA release in our Reception Class as well as teaching our Y1 children in the morning. 

Lancashire Teaching Agency (Reed) will be used to provide a supply teacher if we are unable to provide cover internally; the agency attempt to send staff who have been to the school before.
