Job description

GSL Education Manchester is looking for an expert Upper KS2 Practitioner to join a charming, one-form entry primary school in Stockport. This isn't just a "gap-fill" role; this is a chance to take the reins of a focused Year 6 cohort and guide them through their most important primary milestone.

Why this school?

Unlike larger, multi-form schools where you can feel like a cog in a machine, this one-form entry school offers:

  • True Autonomy: Lead your classroom with your own flair, supported by a highly visible and "hands-on" SLT.

  • Exemplary Behaviour: A school where high expectations are the norm, allowing you to focus on teaching, not just managing.

  • A Collaborative Hub: Small school, big heart. You’ll work closely with a dedicated TA and a leadership team that actually has your back.

The Mission:

We need a teacher who knows the Year 6 framework inside out. Your focus will be:

  • Delivering high-impact SATs preparation (Reading, SPaG, and Maths).

  • Using data-driven interventions to ensure no child falls through the gaps.

  • Creating a calm, confident atmosphere for pupils during the transition to Secondary School.

Who are you?

  • The SATs Expert: You have a proven track record of driving progress in Year 6. (Essential)

  • The Leader: You hold QTS and have a "firm but fair" approach to classroom management.

  • The Strategist: You understand assessment frameworks and know how to turn data into results.

The Benefits:

  • Competitive Pay: MPS/UPS paid to scale.

  • Immediate Impact: Start straight away and see your results by July.

  • Dedicated Consultant: Bespoke support from Orien at GSL Education.

Ready to lead this Year 6 class to success?

Don't let your SATs expertise go to waste in a school that doesn't appreciate it. Apply today by sending your CV to Orien Mojdeh at GSL Education Manchester or call us for a confidential chat about the role.
