About this snapshot

Gordon Yates supports schools, academy trusts and academies across the UK with fully vetted, DBS-checked support staff — from reception and admissions through to executive support, finance, HR, examinations and marketing. Every temp we place is school-ready before their first day, and last-minute cover is a core part of the service: we know that gaps in reception, exams or facilities cover cannot wait.

That reliability shows up in the numbers. We fill 99% of temporary bookings, 96.4% of the permanent hires we make are still in role a year later, and 9 in 10 school clients come back to us for further hires — from single-academy primaries through to multi-academy trusts and independent schools across London and beyond.
