Praise passed on to us by schools about the teachers and teaching assistants we send.
I just wanted to share that James that has been with us this week was great. I've had some lovely feedback from both children and parents. He really got stuck in! We would love to have him back anytime! Satwant was also great. The class teacher said she was amazing with the class.
The Y5 teacher said he had some great feedback about Martin, Early Years loved Margaret, and Angela has been incredible with Year 6 this week! Thanks for everything.
Tomorrow will be Qurrat's last day and we are so sad to see her go! She has been fantastic, very flexible and has fitted so well into our team.
I just wanted to say how lovely it has been having Keela in for the time she's covered this week. A few members of staff who have worked alongside her commented how well she has got on. She's used her own initiative, got down and interacted with the children and has been a delight. She is definitely on our list for future supply.
My little boy is in Charlotte's class and after all the changes they have had in there this year she has truly settled the ship. With her professionalism along with the personal touch she brings and her knowledge and understanding she has been just amazing.
Jean is our longest standing absolute superstar. The thing that stands out the most for us with Jean, besides being a lovely person who is very calm and professional, is her ability to step into any classroom within school and immediately create a positive, purposeful learning environment.
I just wanted to personally message and say a big thank you to Jean who covered in my class yesterday. She did a fantastic job, left the classroom spotless, marked all books and left great hand over notes. She also left on my whiteboard a list of super listeners for me to see.
Charlotte has been to cover our school a few days since the start of the school year and we always get positive feedback from the staff she works with. Our school started using Little Wandle this school year and it was a great help because she knew it well.
Tilly did an AMAZING job. Thank you so much.
Can we say thank you to Steve, not only is he brilliant and handles the class really well, on Friday in the snow he was one of the first members of staff through the door!
It was lovely to see Ingrid as she covered a placement here last year and was brilliant, she knew exactly what to do with our Year 2s again when she covered here on Thursday.
Georgia has been to our school a few times now and her supply visits have always been so positive. Georgia just settles in and gets on with her cover, the children across all year groups really enjoy having her, as do the staff. Thank you Claire's and Georgia for making supply cover such an easy process!
I've just been chatting with the Teaching Assistants who are working with Steve Burley today and they could not speak more highly of him. The children are responding extremely well to him and the class have had a great day! Thank you for sending us another great supply teacher.

What our teachers and TAs say about the schools they work in.
Denby Free is such a lovely little school. In the collective worship they had on Tuesday the kids were saying some incredibly adorable things about belonging and feeling loved. The school just has a really lovely feel to it.
Pennine Way Juniors is one of the nicest schools I've been to. The head showed me round at the start of the day and it's very supportive in each class I've been in. I'd love to come back. Such a positive environment.
I have enjoyed every minute of my day at Marston Montgomery Primary School. The headteacher was very welcoming, staff and students were friendly and lovely, and the location was perfect for me. I even taught some Spanish to KS1 students.
Had a wonderful morning at Waingroves Primary with the Y2 children at forest school exploring their lovely grounds. We made pinecone chicks and mud rabbits then enjoyed a hot chocolate in the shelter. The children are friendly and eagerly helped me learn their class routines!
I just want to say South Wingfield is probably up there with one of the most welcoming and loveliest places to go on supply.
I have been so lucky to work at Duffield Meadows over the last couple of months. It is a gorgeous school with the kindest and most supportive staff I've had the pleasure of working with, including Faye the headteacher. I'm going to miss it a lot.
About Claire's
Thank you to Claire's
If I had to describe my experience with the agency in one sentence, it would be: service with a smile. Everyone has always been so kind, approachable and genuinely supportive. What I've appreciated the most is that I never felt like just another person on a list. You didn't just help me to find work, you helped me find myself as a teacher again.
Thank you for all your fantastic updates! I really enjoy reading your newsletter and blog posts. I very much appreciate the time and effort you put in to providing us with high-quality teaching resources for all areas of the curriculum.
I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Claire's for all you do. You're always quick to supply cover and everyone is so friendly.
Giving up a permanent post as a long serving teacher was not an easy decision to make but I can honestly say that I have no regrets. I want to say thank you to you all for being such a caring and dedicated team and for finding me so much work. You have restored my faith in the teaching profession.
The girls are miracle workers! Meeting the girls to register at Claire's gave me the confidence to do it. It took me to hear someone else talk about the positives and strengths I could bring back to teaching to plant the seed to know that I can do this!
It's a wonderful business with such a positive and uplifting outlook! Great people too!
My confidence was in the gutter when I signed up with you guys, but doing supply has massively increased my confidence. I've loved experiencing all the different schools and meeting lots of new people along the way. The schools all speak so highly of you and say they trust you to find decent, reliable people!
When I first came to you a year and a half ago, I really wasn't sure what I was going to do. Now I'm officially starting in a school where I can see myself thriving for years to come. Your friendly guidance and support has helped me to rebuild my confidence and regain my passion for teaching! I will always recommend you as the BEST supply agency ever!
It was lovely to meet you today. Thank you so much for helping me to feel at ease and welcome!
I'm enjoying seeing lots of different ways of doing things, meeting new friendly faces, and getting to teach a lot of foundation subjects. We really do have some excellent local schools with absolutely wonderful students and staff! Being 10 minutes from home most days is a game changer too.
