What can a Year 2 teacher expect in Peterborough?
Year 2 is the final year of KS1, and teachers help children become fluent readers and confident writers before they move into KS2. Children who did not pass the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1 retake it in June, so targeted phonics support is important.
End of KS1 assessments became optional from 2024, but most Peterborough schools still use tests and teacher assessment to track reading, writing and maths. Year 2 teachers focus on number facts, place value, handwriting and the stamina to write at length.
Year 2 teachers also prepare children for the move to KS2, which may mean a new site or a separate junior school. Building independence and resilience is a big part of the year.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach engaging lessons across the Year 2 curriculum
- Build reading fluency, comprehension and writing stamina
- Support children retaking the Phonics Screening Check
- 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)
- Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
- Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
- Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
- Teachers with recent experience in Year 2 or the same key stage
Frequently asked questions
Are KS1 SATs still compulsory in Year 2?

Number facts, place value, addition and subtraction, and early multiplication, to prepare children for KS2.
