Together, Hackney's schools and nurseries educate around 38,000 children, and that scale keeps primary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Expect to follow the school behaviour policy, adapt planning on the spot and hand over accurate notes at the end of the day. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Shoreditch, Dalston and Stoke Newington, so you can filter for primary schools within a comfortable commute.
