What can a Year 5 teacher expect in Cambridge?
Year 5 is the start of upper KS2, where children tackle more complex reading, longer writing and more abstract maths. Year 5 teachers lay the foundations that Year 6 builds on.
Cambridge classrooms often include children with a wide range of starting points, from pupils new to English to children working well beyond age-related expectations, so good questioning and challenge for all is important.
Year 5 roles are available in primaries across the city, including Chesterton, Morley Memorial, Newnham Croft and St Matthew's, and in junior schools in the surrounding villages.

- Plan and teach engaging lessons across the Year 5 curriculum
- Teach fractions, decimals and percentages and written methods
- Build reading stamina and independence ready for Year 6
- Assess progress and give feedback that moves learning on

- Create a safe, positive and well-organised classroom
