Protocol Education is looking for a committed and enthusiastic class teacher for a full-time role across upper Key Stage 2, working with Year 5 and Year 6 pupils.
This is a great opportunity for a teacher who enjoys the challenge and reward of upper KS2, supporting pupils as they develop independence, resilience and confidence ahead of secondary school. You’ll take pride in helping children stretch academically while feeling secure, supported and motivated.
At Protocol Education, we work hard to match teachers with schools where values, expectations and support align, so you can focus on what you do best, teaching.
The role
You’ll be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, well-structured lessons across the upper KS2 curriculum, creating a calm, purposeful classroom where pupils feel challenged, supported and ready to succeed.
You’ll assess progress, use data to inform next steps and adapt learning to meet a range of needs, including pupils requiring additional support or greater challenge. Clear routines, strong behaviour management and high expectations will be central to the role.
You’ll work closely with colleagues to support pupils academically and emotionally, particularly as they prepare for SATs and the transition to secondary school.
You’ll be joining a school with a welcoming, inclusive culture where teamwork, wellbeing and professional development genuinely matter.
