We’re working closely with supportive primary schools in BS15 who are looking for experienced, fully qualified teachers to lead learning in Year 5, guiding pupils through one of the most important stages of their primary journey.
These schools need teachers who can confidently take ownership of upper KS2 classes, provide calm, consistent leadership, and keep learning focused and purposeful, particularly in the lead-up to SATs. You’ll be trusted to maintain standards, set clear expectations and create a classroom culture where pupils feel supported, motivated and ready to succeed.
This is a hands-on teaching role where your subject knowledge, classroom presence and ability to build quick rapport really matter. From securing core skills in maths and English, to preparing pupils for assessments and supporting their transition to secondary school, your impact will be felt straight away.
Placements are carefully matched to your experience and preferences, in schools that genuinely value strong upper KS2 practitioners and treat supply teachers as professionals, not stop-gaps.
