Are you an enthusiastic and motivated Primary Teacher looking for your next opportunity this September? Do you love teaching Upper Key Stage 2 and helping pupils flourish during one of the most important stages of their primary education?

Protocol Education is working with a fantastic primary school in BS15 to recruit a passionate Upper KS2 Class Teacher to teach a Year 5 or Year 6 class. This is an exciting opportunity to join a welcoming, supportive school where high-quality teaching is valued, collaboration is encouraged and every child is given the opportunity to succeed.

Upper KS2 is where confidence grows, ambitions take shape and pupils prepare for the exciting transition to secondary school. We're looking for a teacher who can inspire curiosity, raise aspirations and create a classroom where every child feels challenged, supported and proud of what they achieve.

The Role

As the class teacher, you'll deliver engaging and creative lessons that bring learning to life across the Upper KS2 curriculum. You'll create a positive, inclusive classroom environment where pupils feel confident to ask questions, take risks and reach their full potential.

Working closely with an experienced and supportive leadership team, you'll use assessment to inform your teaching, stretch higher-attaining pupils and provide targeted support where it's needed most.

Beyond academic progress, you'll play a key role in developing resilience, independence and confidence, ensuring pupils leave primary school ready for the challenges ahead.
