Year 2 Teacher Newton Aycliffe

Year 2 Teacher (Maternity Cover) – Newton Aycliffe | September Start

We’re a warm, community-rooted primary school in Newton Aycliffe looking for a Year 2 teacher to join us from September on a maternity cover basis. This is a class that thrives on curiosity, routine, and the occasional moment of chaos (the good kind).

We’re particularly interested in someone who:

• Sees phonics and storytelling as equally powerful tools
• Understands that progress isn’t always linear – but it is always possible
• Can balance high expectations with genuine warmth
• Has a knack for making number sense “click” for those who find it tricky
• Doesn’t mind being asked why at least 47 times a day

In return, you’ll get:

• A supportive team who plan collaboratively and share ideas freely
• Leadership that trusts teachers to teach, not just tick boxes
• Children who will remember you long after the contract ends
• The chance to step into a well-established classroom with strong routines already in place

This role would suit an experienced teacher or a confident ECT who’s ready to take ownership of a class and make a real impact during a pivotal year.

If you’re the kind of teacher who stays for “just five more minutes” because a child is on the brink of understanding something – this might be your kind of place.
