Frequently Asked Questions

How much supply teaching work is there in Kirklees?

Kirklees alone has 182 state-funded schools – 144 primary and 24 secondary – and sits inside West Yorkshire’s wider network of 919 schools teaching around 380,605 pupils. That scale keeps daily and long-term supply work coming up across primary, secondary and specialist settings all year.

Are Kirklees schools mostly academies or council-run?

It’s a fairly even split – around 54% are academies or free schools and the rest stay council-maintained. As supply you’ll move between both, which keeps the work varied: different structures, policies and daily routines rather than one single model across every booking.

Is there strong demand for supply teachers in Kirklees?

Kirklees’s rate of unfilled posts runs a little below the national average, but with 182 schools across the area there’s still steady day-to-day and long-term supply work – particularly in secondary and specialist settings, where cover needs tend to be more consistent.

Are there grammar schools in Kirklees?

Yes – unlike most of the area, Kirklees still has 1 selective (grammar) school, alongside its comprehensive and academy schools. Most supply bookings are in the non-selective schools, but the grammars add variety – and your consultant will tell you what to expect in each.
