My positive experience of The Staff Room began long before I started working for them! As a full-time class teacher, if a ‘Staff Room’ teacher covered my class I knew that the pupils were in good hands and communication from the supply teacher was comprehensive.
When I made the decision to move from full time teaching to supply, recommendations for The Staff Room came from the experience of previous colleagues, family members and the supply teachers I chatted to in the school staffroom. That all spoke volumes to me.
Working with The Staff Room has been an outstanding experience from the start. Their team is professional, supportive, and genuinely committed to finding the right settings for my assignments. They have taken the time to understand my skills and preferences and have provided me with as much work as I wanted. The communication has been clear, consistent and, above all, friendly as a result, I’ve always felt valued and respected. I can’t recommend The Staff Room highly enough to any teacher looking for a friendly, reliable and proactive agency to support their career.

I’ve been working with The Staff Room Agency for the past three months, mainly in supply cover and TA roles within primary schools.

From the very beginning, the registration process was straightforward and easy, and the team has been fantastic at finding jobs that truly match what I’m looking for. I really value the flexibility, the convenient school locations, and the welcoming environments I’ve worked in so far.
What really sets The Staff Room apart is their communication — they always take the time to check in with me before confirming a booking, and everything is arranged in advance, which I really appreciate. The team is genuinely supportive and always puts my preferences first, whether I’m looking for day-to-day work or something longer term. I’d happily recommend them to anyone in education looking for a reliable, professional, and caring agency.

I highly recommend using the Staff Room for your supply needs. We have used the Staff Room for more years than I can remember. I cannot think of a time that we have felt anything other than satisfied. Communication is fast and I feel that our needs as a school are listened too. 

The staff are friendly and are always available via email or on the telephone. 

Always my first port of call.

After joining The Staff Room for a second time, I have been extremely happy with the service they offer. They have listened to my preferences and found me a long-term supply contract close to home, which was ideal for me, after taking a year out of the profession. They offer a professional, but friendly service accommodating your specific needs. I would highly recommend them.

Choosing The Staff Room was an excellent decision. Efficient, friendly and flexible – 10 days after my interview I was working! When I joined in February ‘25, I knew instantly it was the right decision because they specialise in Primary – it just felt right. Stephen & Jack communicate regularly in person rather than just sending messages and that makes you feel valued and part of the team. The first school I went to was singing their praises. The Staff Room care that their supply staff & schools are happy and that’s so important. Supply teaching gives me a healthy work/life balance – thank you!

We have been working with The Staff Room for a while now and have always found them to be very professional and friendly. They are extremely efficient at arranging supply placements and have been able to fulfill several long term positions within our school. The teachers placed with us via their agency have been of a high standard and adapt to the school setting very quickly. All supply staff have had thorough safeguarding and pre employment checks completed.

The Staff Room provide a great service and are an absolute pleasure to work with, I cannot recommend them enough.
