Academics stands out among supply teacher agencies for their professionalism, excellent communication, and personalized approach. Unlike many other agencies, they conducted a face-to-face interview, which allowed them to truly understand my skills and experience. This personal touch made a huge difference, as they quickly found me a suitable placement soon after the interview and selection process.

David and Hannah have been incredibly understanding and helpful throughout the process. They took the time to recognize my potential and their support and professionalism made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. After my placement Academics went the extra mile by following up to ensure everything was going smoothly and that I felt comfortable and supported in my role. Their genuine commitment to both their teachers and the students they serve was evident in their ongoing support and proactive communication.

What sets Academics apart is their commitment to both educators and schools. They don’t just place you anywhere—they match you with roles that align with your strengths capabilities. Their excellent communication and willingness to assist at every step make them a top choice for supply teaching.

I highly recommend Academics to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organized, and teacher-focused agency.

At the start of the 2024-2025 academic year, I registered with several teaching recruitment agencies in search of supply teaching work. Among them, Dave Arthur @ Academics stood out immediately.

Within just one day of reaching out to Academics, Dave contacted me and arranged an efficient and straightforward registration process. His responsiveness and professionalism were unmatched.

Within a week, Dave had already secured multiple supply teaching opportunities for me at local schools. These roles offered the best rates of pay compared to other local agencies and were perfectly aligned with my pay scale, which was greatly appreciated.

One of Dave's standout qualities is his proactive approach—he directly contacts schools on your behalf, discussing potential vacancies that align with your preferences. Thanks to his efforts, I had work lined up every single day with local schools, many of which turned into longer-term roles lasting several weeks. This consistency was incredibly helpful for me.

Dave’s support didn’t stop there. He stayed in regular contact, checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly and offering new opportunities whenever possible. Within just one month of working as a supply teacher, Dave secured me a one-year contract with my dream school. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

I wholeheartedly recommend Academics and Dave Arthur as a consultant to anyone looking for teaching positions in the Cheshire area. His dedication, efficiency, and personal touch make him a standout in the recruitment field.

I have worked with Academics on and off for a number of years. They are brilliant, they have always found work for me either day to day, long term supply and even permanent roles. I now go to them as first call for work and have never been let down. Dave Arthur and the team have always been excellent and are always happy to help.

I've been signed up to educational employment agencies in the past but I'm finding Academics to be particularly good. The team are all really good at matching me to the right positions and are all very approachable and professional. The schools I work with all hold Dave and the team in very high regard to and respect the work we are there to do. I wouldn't sign to anyone else. I've never struggled to be placed in a role which matches my skills.

Academics Stoke is a well-run modern Teacher Supply Agency. A special mention to Matthew who was very supportive, professional and friendly. I would recommend them without any reservation.
They really helped me when I returned back from a placement abroad guiding throughout the reintegration process.

I had a fantastic experience with Academics agency in Stoke, even though I only worked with them for two months between jobs. Mark and the team were brilliant—super helpful and supportive in getting me work quickly. The agency was incredibly flexible with my availability, which made balancing other commitments so much easier. They also offered competitive pay, which was a huge bonus! They really go above and beyond from regular check-ins to offering additional training. I’d highly recommend Academics and in particular Mark as he was a pleasure to work with.
