First Class Supply

First Class Supply Proudly supporting educators and schools across the North East since 2004. The region’s leading independent education supply agency. We’re different.

Established in 2004, our team of dedicated professionals have almost sixty years of combined experience within educational recruitment (58 years to be exact), and that’s just the team of consultants in the office. We also employ two ex Headteachers specifically to conduct all of our candidate registration interviews, ensuring that all our teachers and assistants are afforded the respect they deser

ve from fellow professionals – like we said, we’re different. We are genuinely committed to treating all our Teachers and Teaching Assistants as individuals and we take your career as seriously as you do. Our aim is to exceed expectations, and in doing so we have built close, personal relationships of trust and understanding with our Teachers and Assistants and excellent partnerships with our schools. We are upfront and honest in our approach. We are not interested in ‘filling a void’, ‘quick fixes’, ‘special introductory offers’ or other gimmicks. Our ethos is simple – to maintain the same exceptionally high standards and best value that has been part of First Class since our inception. Our approach is ethical and professional – we take things very seriously, yet inject our personalities into all we do. Our success to date has been built on personal recommendation and reputation. We are incredibly diligent when it comes to our vetting procedures. We are recognised for our stringent approach to quality and have consistently received 100% from the Department for Education REC Quality Mark team for consistently meeting their rigorous standards. We are passionate about education, passionate about the North East and passionate about what we do.

🍦 A sweet treat for a fantastic achievement! 💙

First Class Supply was delighted to provide ice cream for the Year 6 pupils at Thomas Walling to celebrate completing their SATs. 🎉

We know how much hard work and dedication goes into preparing for SATs, so it was lovely to help the students mark the occasion and enjoy a well-deserved celebration. 🌟

A massive congratulations to all the pupils - you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves! 👏✨

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

This week is a chance to reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing and the power of supporting one another.

At First Class Supply, we know how important it is to create supportive environments where people feel heard, valued, and encouraged to talk openly.

People across the UK are being encouraged to wear green this week to show their support for Mental Health Awareness Week and help raise awareness around mental health. 💚
