Our partner schools include a diverse range of primary schools and academy trusts across Leicester and Leicestershire. They are committed to providing engaging and inclusive learning environments where both pupils and staff are supported to succeed. Many schools benefit from excellent transport connections and are easily accessible from surrounding areas.

The successful Primary Supply Teacher will work as part of dedicated and professional school teams, delivering engaging lessons and maintaining continuity of learning in the absence of the regular class teacher.
