Year 6 Teacher - Cambridge

We are seeking a confident, enthusiastic, and experienced Year 6 Teacher to join a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Cambridge, starting as soon as possible. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about Upper Key Stage 2 and enjoys delivering engaging lessons that challenge, inspire, and prepare pupils for the transition to secondary school.

The school has a strong ethos of collaboration, inclusion, and high expectations.

You will foster resilience, independence, and positive learning behaviours, while supporting pupils academically, socially, and emotionally. A key part of your role will involve preparing pupils for statutory assessments (SATs) and ensuring they are confident and ready for secondary education.

You will collaborate closely with teaching assistants, Key Stage 2 colleagues, and senior leaders to maintain high standards across the year group. Communication with parents and carers is essential to support pupil learning and development, and to foster strong home–school partnerships.
