Year 6 Teacher - ASAP Start
Full-time | Long-term | Northolt

A 2-form entry primary school in Northolt is urgently seeking a strong, experienced Year 6 teacher to start as soon as possible. This role has arisen due to the current Year 6 teacher being signed off sick, and the school is looking for someone who can step in confidently and maintain the high standards already in place.

This is a well-organised, mainstream primary school with clear systems, supportive leadership and a committed KS2 team. Year 6 is a priority year group and the school is looking for a teacher who understands the pressures of SATs and can provide calm, consistent teaching in the run-up to assessments.

The Role

  • Responsibility for preparing pupils for KS2 SATs

  • Delivering structured, high-quality lessons in line with the curriculum

  • Working closely with SLT and the parallel Year 6 teacher to ensure continuity

  • Full class responsibilities including planning, assessment, meetings and parents' communication

The School

  • 2-form entry mainstream primary school

  • Located in Northolt, with good local transport links

  • Experienced and supportive senior leadership team

  • Clear behaviour policies that are consistently followed

  • Strong track record of good SATs outcomes

  • Well-established routines in Year 6 that need maintaining rather than rebuilding

The Ideal Candidate

  • Proven experience teaching Year 6

  • Strong understanding of SATs preparation and assessment frameworks

  • Confident behaviour management skills

  • Calm, resilient and organised under pressure

  • Able to hit the ground running and provide stability for pupils

  • QTS required

  • This role is not suitable for ECTs due to the demands of the year group

This is a key appointment for the school, and they are keen to move quickly to secure the right person who can support pupils through an important final term of primary school.

If you are an experienced Year 6 teacher available now and looking for a long-term role in Northolt, please get in touch.
