✨ Why choose Academics as your next step as a Primary Teacher?
* PAYE pay always – never via an umbrella company! Earn £135-£250 per day with no hidden deductions.
* A dedicated consultant who is a former teacher and understands the challenges and joys of the classroom.
* Access to long-term contracts starting after Easter – and if it’s not the right fit, we’ll work swiftly to place you somewhere that is.
* No marking, no planning (unless you want it!), no data drops, no performance management targets – teaching without the extra weight.
* We help many teachers fall back in love with teaching by giving you flexibility and control over your career.
* Build familiarity and confidence by returning to a small group of core schools rather than being a new face every day.
* Form meaningful relationships with pupils and staff, even in a supply role.
* We’ll guide you through every assignment, helping you settle in and feel part of the school community.
📝 The Primary Teacher role will involve:
* Delivering engaging lessons to children across EYFS, KS1, and KS2 (depending on your preference).
* Following school policies while maintaining your unique teaching style.
* Supporting children’s learning journeys while creating a positive classroom environment.
* Covering short-term absences, planned leave, or stepping into longer-term roles as needed.
💬 Here’s what you won’t have to worry about as a Primary Teacher on supply:
* Parents’ evenings
