Teach Primary

Teach Primary is a professional development title for teachers of 5-11 year olds, widely read and discussed in staffrooms across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Teach Primary


Teach Primary is known and respected in primary schools throughout the UK, with copies mailed directly to senior staff and budget holders in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Our contributors are leading experts and practitioners, such as Mick Waters, Sue Cowley, Michael Tidd and Professor Mike Askew, meaning advertiser branding is aligned with editorial voices that teachers trust.

In combination with our many specialist titles – such as Teach Reading & Writing and Top School Trips – and our website (teachwire.net) we᾿re able to help you run a broader, sustained campaign with significant reach and impact. We can also take your message directly to customers via our emarketing database, carefully curated over the span of a decade, and Twitter, where we have 70k followers. 

Copies of the magazine are valued as teaching resources and so it᾿s common for schools to keep them on file well beyond the month of publication, meaning articles and promotions are frequently revisited and so represent excellent value for money.
