Location: Bristol
Job Type: Permanent
Reference: 311027414
Salary: £162.72 - £251.72/day
Job Published: 24 March 2026

We’re working with a warm, ambitious primary school that knows exactly what great teaching looks like and gives you the space to do it well.

This is a Year 6 role with real purpose. You’ll be guiding pupils through their final year of primary school, helping them grow in confidence, independence, and readiness for secondary. It’s a big job, but you won’t be doing it alone.

Expect a team that shares ideas, backs each other, and genuinely cares about getting it right for every child.

 

What you’ll be doing

You’ll step into a well-structured classroom where expectations are high and support is even higher.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Creating a calm, focused classroom where pupils feel safe, challenged, and ready to learn
  • Taking full ownership of pupil progress and helping every child reach their potential
  • Preparing pupils for SATs without losing the joy of learning along the way
  • Delivering lessons that are clear, engaging, and make the most of every minute
  • Adapting your teaching to suit all learners, including SEND, EAL, and high achievers
  • Using assessment confidently to guide next steps and give meaningful feedback
  • Building strong routines and positive behaviour that keeps learning on track
  • Working closely with colleagues and support staff to make sure no child is left behind
  • Playing an active part in school life, from enrichment to parent partnerships

 

What this school does well

This is a place where:

  • High expectations and strong relationships go hand in hand
  • Staff are trusted as professionals and supported to grow
  • The curriculum is broad, engaging, and designed to spark curiosity
  • Pupils are encouraged to think deeply, speak confidently, and take pride in their work
  • The wider school experience matters just as much as results

There’s a real sense of community here. Staff stay because they feel valued, supported, and part of something meaningful.

 

What you’ll get in return

  • High-quality CPD and access to wider professional networks
  • A supportive induction tailored to your experience
  • A collaborative team that shares workload and ideas
  • Wellbeing support, including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Practical perks like free parking and cycle scheme access
  • A school that respects your time, your skills, and your impact

 

What we’re looking for

  • A qualified teacher with UK QTS
  • Someone confident teaching in KS2, ideally with Year 6 experience
  • Strong subject knowledge and understanding of SATs expectations
  • A calm, consistent approach to behaviour and classroom routines
  • A team player who’s open, reflective, and ready to contribute

 

Safeguarding

This school is committed to keeping children safe. All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and thorough safeguarding procedures in line with current guidance.

 

If you’re looking for a school where your teaching really makes a difference, and where you’re supported to be your best, this could be the one.

Let’s have a chat and see if it feels like the right fit.
