In small schools it is really tricky - our leadership team consisted of me (the head), the senco and the business manager. Teaching staff had subject leadership responsibilities but pretty much everything else was me. It can be difficult!!
Allocated by the needs of the children. They both (only have 1 full time and 1 part time) lead RWI groups and then their timetables are arranged so that all children who need extra support or interventions get what they need. Also provide extra cover for Forest School if needed.
