Year 6 teachers deserve medals. Or at least really good coffee.

We’re working with supportive primary schools across Leeds and Wakefield looking for confident and experienced Year 6 Teachers to join their teams this September. These schools understand the realities of Upper KS2, value staff wellbeing, and know that SATs season runs a lot smoother when teachers feel supported properly.

Your role:

• Teaching and preparing a Year 6 class for SATs and transition
• Creating engaging and focused lessons
• Supporting pupils academically and emotionally during their final primary year
• Working collaboratively with colleagues and leadership teams
• Building confidence and independence in pupils before secondary school

Schools are looking for teachers who:

• Hold UK QTS
• Have strong KS2 curriculum knowledge
• Feel confident leading a classroom independently
• Bring positive behaviour management and communication skills
• Can balance challenge, support, and a sense of humour during busy terms

What you’ll get:

• Permanent contracts with long-term stability
• Strong planning support and resources
• Experienced SLT and collaborative staff teams
• Opportunities for progression and subject leadership
• Schools where staff are genuinely valued, not just thanked with biscuits once a term
