We’re working closely with supportive primary schools across Bristol who are looking for expereinced, fully qualified to lead learning in upper KS2 and guide pupils through a crucial stage of their primary journey.
These schools need teachers who can confidently take ownership of a Year 6 class, 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.
