Whether you love the variety of different classrooms, you’re returning to teaching after a break, or you’re simply looking for a better work-life balance, supply teaching can be a great way to enjoy the classroom again, on your terms.
We work with a wide range of welcoming primary schools across the area, from small village schools to busy multi-form entries. Each one is different, but they all share the same goal, creating positive, supportive learning environments where children feel safe, encouraged, and ready to learn.
As a supply teacher, you’ll step into classrooms where routines are already in place and lessons are prepared. Your role is to bring learning to life, keep things ticking along, and give pupils a calm, confident presence for the day. From phonics and early reading to Maths, topic work, and creative lessons, no two days are the same, and that’s part of the fun.
Pastoral care is at the heart of primary supply. Schools value teachers who can build quick relationships, set clear expectations, and create a positive atmosphere where children feel seen and supported. Whether it’s a short-term booking or something more regular, you’ll be making a real difference, even in just one day.
You focus on teaching, we’ll handle the rest. We’ll match you with schools that suit your style, availability, and experience. Whether you want full-time supply, part-time flexibility, or the odd day here and there, we’ll help build a working pattern that fits around your life. With clear school briefs, lessons ready to go, and support just a phone call away, you can enjoy your day without the extra stress.
