You know Year 6 isn’t just another school year. It’s the final chapter of primary school, the confidence-building year, the SATs year, the “I can do this” year

And let’s be honest, it takes a special kind of KS2 teacher to guide pupils through it successfully.

That’s why we’re looking for experienced, adaptable and confident Key Stage 2 teachers, particularly those with strong Year 5 and Year 6 experience, to support local primary schools through supply and PPA cover roles.

This is your chance to keep doing the part you love most, teaching, motivating and helping pupils thrive, while gaining the flexibility and balance that permanent teaching doesn’t always allow.

No endless meetings. No full-time pressure. Just purposeful KS2 teaching where your experience genuinely matters.

Whether you’re after regular work, short-term placements, or flexible day-to-day supply, we’ll help you find opportunities that work around your life, not the other way round
