Frequently Asked Questions

Is there enough supply work to stay busy in Derby?

Yes – Derby has 108 state-funded schools and belongs to Derbyshire’s 528-school network of around 151,359 pupils. With that many primaries, secondaries and specialist settings nearby, day-to-day bookings and long-term cover come up consistently rather than in short seasonal bursts.

Why are so many schools around Derby academies?

About 69% of Derby’s schools are academies or free schools, many inside multi-academy trusts. Trusts often share cover arrangements across several schools, so one good placement can lead to others nearby without starting from scratch each time you’re booked.

Is there strong demand for supply teachers in Derby?

Derby sits close to the national average for unfilled and hard-to-fill teaching posts, so there’s a steady, dependable flow of supply work – day-to-day cover and longer placements alike – across its 108 schools, rather than sharp peaks and troughs.

Can I get SEND or alternative-provision work around Derby?

You can. Derby has 7 special schools and 3 pupil referral or AP settings and the wider Derbyshire network adds many more. If you have SEND, behaviour or one-to-one experience, tell your consultant – that kind of specialist cover is in steady demand locally.
