Mr James-Hammond
Reliable supply teaching.
Calm classrooms.
No agency fees.
Hello — I’m Mr James-Hammond, a qualified primary teacher providing dependable, high-quality supply teaching directly to schools.
I bring a calm, organised presence to the classroom and
adapt quickly to each school’s expectations and routines. I’m comfortable taking charge of a class at short notice,
following set plans, and ensuring pupils remain focused, settled, and engaged throughout the day.
By working directly with schools, I offer flexible, transparent supply cover that prioritises consistency, professionalism, and positive relationships.
What You Can Expect
Prompt responses, clear arrangements, and reliable classroom cover when you need it.
Reliable, Responsive Cover from 6am
If you need cover at short notice,
I’m available from early morning and
answer my phone for
same-day bookings from 6am.
I confirm quickly, arrive prepared, and provide reliable, calm classroom cover.
Transparent rates, direct supply
I offer clear, competitive rates:
£245 per full day,
£135 mornings, and
£125 afternoons — providing schools with reliable, cost-effective cover without agency fees.
There are no commissions or hidden costs, and I’m available for
short-notice bookings from 6am, working directly with schools.
Calm, Experienced Classroom Practice
I establish routines quickly and
maintain high expectations.
Pupils feel safe, focused, and ready to learn — even on short-notice days.
Direct Professional Relationship
You work directly with me, not an agency.
That means consistency, familiarity, and a teacher who understands your school’s routines, cohort, culture, and expectations.
Added Value Beyond Cover
Where appropriate, I teach purposeful lessons rather than simply “keeping things ticking over”.
As a former Head of Humanities, I
deliver structured teaching and
mark work in all lessons, giving
pupils clear next steps while
maintaining continuity for the class.
I also use a clear feedback sheet to brief the class teacher on what was covered, how pupils responded, and any important notes.
Trusted and Recommended
I’m personally recommended within local school networks, including by senior leaders.
That trust has been built through
reliability, professionalism, and strong classroom practice, supported by
references from former heads, an up-to-date DBS (always available), and current safeguarding training.
