Job Description
English Teacher - Primary (KS2)
Bradford | Full-time | Permanent | MPS/UPS
Ever met a class who hate writing… and then watched them argue over who gets to read their story out loud first?
That's the magic we're after.
We're working with a brilliant primary school in Bradford that's looking for an English Teacher who doesn't just teach literacy… but brings it to life. Think storytelling that sticks, writing that actually excites Year 5s, and reading sessions that feel more like adventures than lessons.
If you're the kind of teacher who can turn a reluctant writer into someone proudly handing you a 3-page saga about dragons and football… keep reading.
The school
This is a warm, inclusive primary school where relationships come first and expectations stay high. Staff here genuinely back each other, no closed-door classrooms, no "you're on your own" energy.
You'll find:
* A supportive SLT who actually listens
* A team that shares planning (and the good biscuits)
* Pupils who are curious, lively, and full of personality
* A real focus on creativity across the curriculum
It's the kind of place where teachers stay because it feels like a team, not a treadmill.
The role
You'll be leading English across KS2, bringing energy and structure to reading and writing in a way that makes sense for real children, not just curriculum boxes.
Expect to:
* Plan and deliver engaging English lessons that spark curiosity
* Build strong reading culture across the classroom
* Support pupils to close gaps and grow confidence
* Work closely with colleagues to shape creative literacy learning
* Celebrate progress loudly (we're big on that here)
What we're looking for
Someone who:
* Holds UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
* Has experience in primary education (KS2 ideal)
* Knows how to make English feel alive, not just "another lesson"
* Builds calm, consistent classroom routines without losing warmth
* Believes every child has a story worth telling
ECTs are very welcome. If you've got the passion and the patience, we've got the support.
Why this role hits different
* Weekly PAYE pay (no umbrella headaches)
* Free CPD through Protocol Education
* A dedicated consultant who actually picks up the phone
* Long-term stability with real progression opportunities
* Schools that value your voice, not just your timetable
The bit that matters
If you want a classroom where English feels like discovery, not delivery… this could be your next move.
