HLTA for Year 6 Groups and Class Cover in Wakefield

Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Can a Year 6 teacher hand you a group and trust you to teach it, not just supervise? Primary schools across Wakefield, Ossett, Horbury and Outwood are looking for HLTAs with exactly that confidence.

About the Role

Upper Key Stage 2 is a busy, high stakes stretch of primary school. You will teach planned English and maths sessions to small Year 6 groups, helping pupils prepare for end of key stage assessments. When teachers take PPA or are away, you will cover KS2 classes from their plans. Pupils with SEND in Years 5 and 6 may also need targeted support from you. You will feed back progress to class teachers and phase leaders so everyone knows where each child stands. Bookings are long term, giving you time to see results. Strong subject knowledge and calm whole class management are what schools value most.

  • Teach planned English and maths to small Year 6 groups
  • Cover KS2 classes during PPA and planned absence
  • Prepare pupils for end of key stage assessments
  • Support pupils with SEND in upper KS2
  • Feed back progress to teachers and phase leaders

Requirements

  • Strong upper KS2 English and maths
  • Confident whole class behaviour management
  • Able to commit to a long term booking

  • A dedicated consultant on 0113 460 1938 from start to finish
  • Long term days that fit your availability
