The Headteacher is seeking a Good or Outstanding practitioner who brings presence, warmth, and academic ambition – someone ready to inspire, lead learning, and elevate outcomes in a delightful Year 5 class.

• £170–£250 per day (depending on experience)

• Good – praised for leadership and behaviour
• Church of England Primary – small, inclusive, values‑driven
• January – Full‑time to July (initial contract)
• Ongoing coaching and subject development
• A proven Good or Outstanding KS2 teacher seeking a fulfilling, high‑impact role

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Teaching a delightful, ambitious Year 5 class through the Spring and Summer terms
• Delivering the full KS2 curriculum with clarity, creativity, and consistency
• Contributing to phase planning and assessment across Upper KS2
• Building relationships with pupils, parents, and colleagues to support holistic learning
• Driving progress and confidence in core subjects, especially reading and writing

Ideal Year 5 Teacher for this Tower Hamlets School:

• A UK‑trained Primary Teacher with QTS
• Strong track record of Good or Outstanding classroom teaching

• Warm, reflective, and motivated to inspire a love of learning

Why Join This Tower Hamlets School?

• Welcoming, community‑rooted Church of England primary
