End of Course Check for Private [license]. We were on left base while a Yak aircraft was right base. Yak was cleared number 2 cleared to land. We started turn to final early just to create spacing from the YAK. At that time the Yak also started his turn to final. We had visual on him until about 1/2 mile final when we lifted our high wing. After that he was above us. I told the student to conduct a Go Around and sidestep to the left since the traffic was on top of us. The tower asked the Yak once he landed if he ever saw us. He responded with no he was cleared to land.
Instructor reported executing a go-around from after an airborne conflict with an aircraft that had cleared to land number two.
