About primary education in Stockton

With 38 primary schools across the city, primary work in Stockton offers real variety from one week to the next. Demand rises sharply from January through to the summer term as schools protect teaching time in the run-up to assessments. Together, Stockton's schools and nurseries educate around 28,500 children, and that scale keeps primary cover requests coming in every week of term.

A typical day means delivering planned lessons across Key Stage 1 or 2, managing the register and playground duty, and leaving clear feedback for the class teacher. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Stockton, Thornaby and Billingham, so you can filter for primary schools within a comfortable commute.

Supply is a practical route for ECTs to build classroom confidence across different settings before applying for a permanent post. You choose which Stockton bookings to accept in the Humly app, see the pay rate before you confirm, and speak to the same North East consultant each time.
