Are you looking for a long-term role where you will feel fully supported every step of the way?

Academics in Leeds are currently recruiting for a welcoming Primary School in South Leeds who are seeking a dedicated Reception Teacher to join them in January 2026 for the full year.

The class has a high number of pupils with SEND so the school are looking for a teacher with experience planning and adapting lessons to meet all abilities.

At Academics, we believe teaching should be about the children. That's why this Reception Teacher role focuses on inspiring learning and forming connections, without unnecessary distractions.

If you're a Reception Teacher who wants to make a real difference while feeling valued and supported, we'd love to hear from you. You must have QTS and have a DBS on the update service or be willing to apply for one to be considered for this role.
