Job description

A welcoming primary school in Barking and Dagenham is looking for a PPA Teacher to provide cover on a part-time basis from September 2025 onwards.

The Role

In this PPA Teacher role, you will be required for 3 days a week. The school can be flexible on days to provide cover for teachers from EYFS to Year 6 during their planning, preparation, and assessment time.

You will collaborate with class teachers to ensure lessons are effectively prepared and delivered. While the majority of lesson planning will be provided, you may have opportunities to contribute your ideas for certain classes or subjects.

The ideal PPA Teacher will have experience teaching across all primary year groups, strong curriculum knowledge, and a proactive, positive approach to classroom management. This is an excellent opportunity to bring your skills and enthusiasm to a supportive and dynamic school environment.

This PPA Teacher role is offered on an ongoing contract basis from September 2025.

The School

This is a vibrant primary school in Barking and Dagenham. The PPA Teacher role will be based at the larger 3-form entry site, which benefits from excellent transport links, including proximity to 3 tube stations, nearby mainline rail stations, and convenient bus routes.

Collaboration is central to the school’s ethos, with teachers in each year group working closely together on planning and assessment. The school consistently achieves results above the national average across Early Years, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2, reflecting its commitment to high-quality teaching and learning.

Highly regarded within the local community, the school fosters strong partnerships with parents and has been recognized for its success in closing the attainment gap for disadvantaged pupils. It also provides outreach support to schools across Camden, further cementing its reputation for excellence.
