About secondary education in Greenwich

Greenwich is home to 14 secondary schools, and secondary staffing here has its own rhythm. Secondary cover tends to be booked further in advance than primary, with blocks of several days or full half-terms common. Together, Greenwich's schools and nurseries educate around 42,000 children, and that scale keeps secondary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Expect five lessons a day across different year groups, with planning provided by the department for most cover work. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Greenwich, Woolwich and Eltham, so you can filter for secondary schools and sixth forms within a comfortable commute.

Longer placements often include responsibility for coursework or intervention groups, which strengthens applications for permanent posts. Because our consultants are based in the London, we can match you to settings that fit your travel, experience and preferred age range rather than filling any gap that appears.
