If so, this Pontefract primary school wants to hear from you.
The Role:
Reed Education is supporting a well-led, friendly primary school in the Pontefract (WF9) area who are seeking a strong, committed Year 4/5 Teacher to join them full-time from immediately after the Easter holidays.
This is a long-term position lasting until at least the summer holidays, with the potential to continue for the right candidate.
You will take full responsibility for the Year 4/5 class, delivering high-quality teaching, maintaining strong expectations, and supporting learners as they develop confidence and independence in KS2.

Key highlights include:

* Excellent support from senior leadership and a positive, collaborative culture
* A class ready for an engaging teacher who can bring structure, enthusiasm, and consistency
* Strong resources and a welcoming staff team
* Freedom to deliver creative and meaningful lessons
What We’re Looking For:
To succeed in this role, you should be:
* A Qualified Teacher (QTS) with experience across KS2
* Confident in planning, delivering, and assessing Y4/5 curriculum content
* Skilled in building positive relationships with pupils, parents, and staff
* Strong in behaviour management with a supportive, nurturing approach
* Someone passionate about making a difference in the classroom
This is an ideal opportunity for a teacher who brings high expectations, a professional attitude, and a genuine love of teaching.
What You’ll Receive Through REED Education:
* Competitive weekly pay
* Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
* Access to high-quality CPD
* A long-term role where you can genuinely make an impact
Key Details:
* Start Date: Straight after the Easter holidays
* Location: Pontefract (WF9)
* Contract: Full-time, long-term (until at least July)
