Teach Now is partnered with a thriving two-form entry primary school in Redbridge seeking a dynamic, resilient, and committed Year 5 Class Teacher to join their team this January. This is a fast-moving recruitment process, and the school is eager to appoint the right teacher as soon as possible.
If you are motivated by making a meaningful impact, confident in your ability to lead a lively KS2 classroom, and ready to contribute to a supportive school community—this could be the perfect next step in your teaching journey.
Class: A lively cohort with “a couple of characters” requiring strong behaviour management and positive relationship-building. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in energetic environments and enjoys creating engaging, literacy-rich lessons.
Essential Requirements
• Strong, confident behaviour management
• Proven success working with challenging classes
• Solid understanding of KS2 curriculum
• Ability to deliver engaging learning experiences for mixed-ability learners

This setup suits a teacher who is confident working independently and leading the classroom with clarity and consistency.
Why This School?
