We work closely with a diverse range of primary schools across Bristol who are keen to support postgraduate students looking to gain real classroom experience and explore a future career in education.
Schools are looking for motivated, reliable graduates who can bring energy, curiosity, and a calm presence into the classroom. You’ll be supporting learning across KS1 and KS2, working alongside experienced teachers, and getting a genuine feel for life in a primary school before committing to teacher training.

Placements are flexible and matched to your availability, making it ideal alongside further study, research, or other commitments.
