Year 6 Teacher - Barnsley area (Long- Term)

Primary School Barnsley Area

Via Reed Education

Start: Immediately after May Half Term (1st June 2026)

End: At least Summer Holidays

Reed Education is delighted to be working in partnership with a welcoming and ambitious primary school in the Barnsley area to recruit an experienced and outstanding Year 6 Teacher for a full-time block cover role.

This position will run from Monday 1st June until Thursday 16th July, covering the remainder of the summer term. The school is keen to secure a committed professional who is ready to fully integrate into the team and provide high-quality teaching and continuity for pupils at a crucial and exciting stage of their primary journey.

This is a full teaching responsibility position within Year 6. Although SATs will have concluded, this remains a busy and rewarding period, with continued learning, transition work, and end-of-year celebrations including a performance and a party/prom. You will not be working alone - there are two Year 6 classes, ensuring shared responsibility and strong colleague support.

The school is seeking someone who truly wants to belong to the team, contribute positively beyond the classroom, and see the role through with professionalism and care. This is not a "dash in and dash out" role - commitment to the wider life of the school is essential and openly welcomed.

• Planning and delivering engaging, purposeful lessons aligned to the Year 6 curriculum
• Completing all associated marking and assessment
• Supporting and updating SEND plans where required
• Maintaining high expectations for behaviour, learning and engagement
• Attending weekly staff meetings on Wednesdays until 4:30pm (likely only a small number when directly relevant to Year 6)
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to support end-of-year activities and smooth pupil transition

• Be a qualified teacher (QTS) with proven experience teaching Year 6
• Be confident managing full teaching responsibilities independently
• Be proactive, organised and reliable
• Have strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills
• Be a team player who is happy to get involved and see the job through
• Demonstrate commitment, professionalism, and pride in their work

• Supportive leadership and a collaborative staff team
• Shared responsibility within the Year 6 cohort
• A welcoming, well-organised environment
• Clear expectations and excellent pupil behaviour
• An opportunity to make a genuine impact during a key stage of pupils' journey

• Competitive daily rates
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your assignment
• Straightforward compliance and onboarding
• Honest advice and transparent communication

If you are an experienced Year 6 teacher looking for a meaningful, full-time role for the remainder of the summer term, and you're ready to commit fully to a school that values teamwork and professionalism, we would love to hear from you.
