KS2 Class Teacher
Location: Handsworth, Birmingham B20
Paid to Scale (MPS/UPS) 
Days: Monday to Friday (Term Time Only)
Start Date: 01/09/2026
Contract: Permanent

We are working with a well-established primary school in Handsworth to recruit two KS2 Teachers for September 2026. The school is looking to appoint both a Lower KS2 Teacher and an experienced Upper KS2 Teacher, with a particular focus on raising attainment and preparing pupils for SATs outcomes.

The Upper KS2 role is suited to a confident, experienced teacher with a strong track record of delivering results and supporting pupils through Year 5 or 6. The Lower KS2 position offers an excellent opportunity for a developing teacher to build experience within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Both roles offer the chance to join a forward-thinking leadership team, with a clear focus on high standards, consistency in teaching, and positive pupil outcomes across Key Stage 2.

Responsibilities:

• Plan, deliver and evaluate high-quality lessons across KS2
• Adapt teaching to suit either Lower KS2 or Upper KS2 pupils
• Monitor, assess and track pupil progress, adapting provision where required
• Create a positive, structured classroom environment with clear expectations
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, SLT and support staff
• Build strong relationships with parents and carers
• Prepare pupils for key transitions, including SATs (Upper KS2)

What We’re Looking For:

• QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) – essential
• Experience teaching within KS2 (Lower or Upper)
• Strong knowledge of the primary curriculum
• Confident behaviour management skills
• A proactive and reflective approach to teaching
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
