What can a Year 3 teacher expect in Cambridge?
Year 3 is the first year of KS2, and in Cambridge's junior schools it is the year children join a new school. Year 3 teachers help children settle, build independence and take on longer pieces of writing.
Many children start learning a modern foreign language in Year 3, and multiplication tables and written methods in maths become more important. Cambridge schools also use the city's museums for topics such as the Stone Age to the Iron Age and Ancient Egypt, with the Fitzwilliam's Egyptian galleries a favourite trip.
Year 3 roles are available in all-through primaries across the city and in junior schools in the villages, such as Linton Heights and Histon and Impington Junior School.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach engaging lessons across the Year 3 curriculum
- Help children settle into KS2 and new routines
- Teach the 3, 4 and 8 times tables and written methods
- Assess progress and give feedback that moves learning on
- Work closely with teaching assistants, parents and the SENCO
- Create a safe, positive and well-organised classroom
Who we're looking for
- Qualified primary teachers (QTS or QTLS)

Frequently asked questions
