About primary education in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is home to 42 primary schools, and primary staffing here has its own rhythm. Schools plan ahead for PPA and training days, so alongside day-to-day cover there is a steady stream of pre-booked work. Together, Wandsworth'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 Putney, Tooting and Battersea, so you can filter for primary schools within a comfortable commute.

Day-to-day cover frequently leads to long-term maternity or sickness placements with the same school. 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.
