Primary schools
We supply class teachers and support staff who align with your phonics programme, maths mastery journey, and relational behaviour model — from single-form village schools to three-form urban primaries and all-through MAT sites.
Overview
Primary cover and recruitment succeed when the adult can pick up the class, the topic and the relationships — not only the register. We match to your phonics programme, maths mastery approach and behaviour culture so pupils keep the same routines even when the usual teacher is away.
We work with infant, junior and all-through primary settings: single-form village schools, large urban primaries and MAT sites that share curriculum and inclusion practice across a trust. Headteachers tell us continuity for vulnerable learners matters as much as a qualified adult in the room.
Bookings range from same-day supply and PPA cover through term-length maternity or sickness appointments to permanent class-teacher and leadership search. A named Education contact holds the brief so your context is not lost between shifts.
Safer recruitment is completed before we put someone forward. Identity, right to work, enhanced DBS with children’s barred list, prohibition checks where they apply, and professional references are the baseline — aligned to Keeping Children Safe in Education.
Roles we supply
We place EYFS practitioners, KS1 and KS2 class teachers, job-share patterns, phase leads and curriculum champions, plus HLTA and TA pools for intervention groups and 1:1 support where the school commissions it.

What headteachers prioritise
Continuity for vulnerable learners; adults comfortable in Pupil Premium reviews; supply staff who can pick up medium-term topics without daily micromanagement.
How we match
We ask which phonics programme you use, how maths is taught, and what relational or restorative behaviour looks like on a typical day. Cover notes on medical needs, SEND support in the class and playground duty are part of the briefing, not an afterthought at the school gate.
For longer bookings we look for an adult who can own the class story for a term: planning, assessment checkpoints and parent-facing calm. For same-day cover we still expect someone who can follow your timetable and keep learning moving, not a holding pattern until 3.15.
What schools can expect
- Named Education contact who understands your phase, not a generic booking queue
- People matched to key stage, phonics and behaviour culture before they are put forward
- Enhanced DBS, identity and right-to-work checks, TRA / prohibition checks for teachers, and recent professional references
- Clarity for school leaders and business manager sign-off
- Block bookings and fixed-term options when a revolving daily fill would unsettle the class
