In Leeds-based schools, Year 3 marks the exciting transition from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. It’s a time when children begin to take more ownership of their learning, explore new ideas, and build deeper connections. We’re working with schools that are looking for teachers who can guide pupils through this shift with purpose and positivity.
These roles are for educators who understand that structure brings stability, that encouragement builds confidence, and that creativity keeps curiosity alive. You’ll help children adjust to new expectations while continuing to nurture their emotional and social development.
You’ll be joining schools that value both academic challenge and personal growth. They set high standards, but meet them with care, flexibility, and a deep respect for individuality. Reed Education will support you every step of the way, offering placements that align with your values, CPD opportunities to help you grow, and a dedicated consultant who understands your journey, because they’ve walked it too.
If you believe in creating classrooms where children feel supported, motivated, and inspired, and where teachers are trusted to lead with heart, these are the opportunities where you’ll thrive.
