Location: South Croydon A successful and reputable one-form-entry primary school near to South Croydon is seeking a Year 5 Class Teacher to support them with a maternity cover contract from September 2026.

This primary school is situated in a lovely sub-urban town on the border of Croydon and Surrey, with excellent transport routes as it is walking distance from Purley overground train station, plus, host on-site parking or free on-street parking nearby.

At present, we have a Teacher completing this contract for us currently and is going on maternity herself! Feedback is consistently positive for this school, with this Teacher noting how great the senior leadership support is and behaviour is fantastic.

The Headteacher is one of the most understanding I have worked with - despite doing a full teaching contract, she does not expect you to stay once the children have all left site and she gives 1 full day fortnightly off-timetable to dedicate to planning (paid as normal).
