Primary School Teacher Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently supported literacy and numeracy across a school of about 400 students, which gave me a clear view of what works in Year 3 and 4 classrooms. In my last role I managed a cohort of 28 with varied needs and I used targeted small groups to lift reading levels by a measurable margin over the year. I’m applying for [Company Name] because I value steady collaboration with families and the chance to contribute to a well organised learning program. I bring solid skills in literacy and numeracy instruction, classroom management, and differentiated learning. I enjoy presenting curriculum through a mix of explicit teaching, hands on activities and flexible groups. I also contribute to physical education delivery and creative expression projects, and I’m comfortable using assessment to guide feedback and next steps. I have experience with planning, recording and reporting student progress for parents and staff. In a recent term, I helped coordinate a cross-curricular project that linked science, storytelling and geography for a class of 25. We used prompts and rubrics to guide discussion and student work, and I marked tasks with clear feedback. The project significantly improved engagement and allowed students to apply skills in writing, problem solving and collaboration, while keeping on track with curriculum targets and timetables. I am available for a discussion about how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. I look forward to the possibility of visiting the school and talking through the role and expectations. Kind regards, [Your Name]
