The performing arts cover network
Your next cover teacher
starts here.
5678 is a members-only network for dance and performing arts. Schools search freelance teachers by subject, distance and availability; teachers keep a profile and say when they are free. You talk to each other directly.
Membership is £14.40 a year for schools and teachers alike. Includes VAT, billed annually.

How it works
Three steps, from a gap in the timetable to a teacher on the phone.
1
Search
Filter the network by subject, how far a teacher will travel, and whether they are free when the class is.
2
Read
Every profile carries what the teacher says about themselves — subjects, experience, DBS, insurance and training, each with the date they last said so.
3
Get in touch
Ask to see a teacher’s contact details, then call, message or email them yourself. There is no middleman and no booking fee.
Contact details stay hidden until a school with an active membership asks to see them, and a teacher chooses which of their phone number and email address can be shared at all. A teacher is never told which school looked.
For schools
Cover you can arrange yourself.
Search the whole network
By subject, distance and availability — and only teachers who would actually travel to you.
Judge for yourself
Profiles show what each teacher declares, and when they last said so. Those statements are the teacher’s own, and 5678 takes no view on them.
Keep the relationship
Once you have their details, the arrangement is between you and the teacher.
For teachers
Be the one they call.
Show your subjects, experience and how you like to teach
Age groups, ways of working, your rate and how far you travel — all of it yours to edit.
Keep your availability up to date
Set your usual week, mark the days you are away, and flag when you are free today.
Control how your details are shared
Choose whether schools can see your phone number, your email address, or neither.
What we can tell you, and what we can’t
Everything on a profile is the teacher’s own account of themselves.
Declared by the teacher
DBS level, and when they last said so
Insurance, first aid and safeguarding training
Qualifications, experience and subjects taught
What 5678 knows
That their email address reaches them
That their membership is paid and active
Nothing about the statements on the left — they are the teacher’s own
