\n— Own the after-school academic block, with homework completed properly, daily reading, and a weekly enrichment plan shaped around the school's priorities
\n— Act as the family's single point of contact with the school: portal, correspondence, newsletters, class groups, trips and events
\n— Manage the children's full calendar (clubs, tutors, playdates, parties and appointments), including bookings, fees and all liaison with coaches and tutors
\n— Keep the children's wardrobes, kit and belongings in order, current to size and season, rotating what is outgrown
\n— Brief the chef, housekeepers and drivers on the children's needs each day
\n— Accompany the drivers on school runs and activities, taking the wheel herself when needed
\n— Provide a concise daily handover and a short weekly note on each child's progress
