Year 5 is where children discover what they are truly capable of - be the teacher who shows them.

We are working with a welcoming, ambitious primary school in Preston Road, Brent, looking for an experienced and passionate Year 5 Teacher to join their upper Key Stage 2 team. This is a school with strong leadership, collaborative planning and a genuine commitment to every child's progress.

Year 5 is a year of real ambition. Children are building the depth of knowledge, the academic stamina and the independent thinking they will need to take on KS2 SATs in Year 6. As Year 5 Teacher at this Preston Road school, you will play a central role in making sure every child arrives at that final year as prepared, confident and capable as possible.

You will plan and deliver high-quality, challenging lessons across the full KS2 National Curriculum, working alongside your year group colleagues in a genuinely collaborative team where planning is shared and workload is kept manageable. The school uses assessment data purposefully - to identify gaps, track progress and adapt teaching - and you will be expected to contribute to that culture with rigour and care.

Teaching assistants are deployed effectively across the school to support all learners, including those with SEND and EAL, and you will work closely with yours to ensure differentiation is embedded and no child is left behind. The school has clear behaviour frameworks, established routines and approachable leadership - the kind of environment where good teachers can focus on doing what they do best.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - essential
• Proven experience teaching Year 5 or upper KS2, with strong knowledge across the National Curriculum
• The ability to deliver ambitious, engaging lessons that stretch all learners
• Confident use of assessment data to track progress and inform planning
• Experience differentiating effectively for SEND and EAL pupils in a mainstream primary classroom
• A collaborative, growth-focused approach and genuine enthusiasm for upper KS2 teaching
• High expectations for every child and the resilience to maintain them

• A role in a well-regarded, forward-thinking school in a vibrant part of Brent
• Shared year group planning - high expectations, manageable workload
• Supportive, approachable leadership that genuinely invests in its teachers
• Real opportunities for professional development and career progression
• The fulfilment of preparing a whole year group for the most important year of their primary career

• Competitive daily rates paid weekly via PAYE - no umbrella companies, no hidden deductions
• Free access to over 2,500 CPD courses through The National College from day one
• A dedicated consultant who specialises in primary education across Brent and surrounding boroughs
• Honest, transparent support throughout your placement or permanent application
• Access to a wide network of outstanding schools across Brent, Harrow and North West London

Help a year group prepare for the biggest year of their primary school career.
