Future Teachers
Are you a graduate considering a career in teaching? We have something especially for you.
Are you a graduate considering a career in teaching? Would you like paid work experience in schools to help you decide if becoming a teacher is right for you? If the answer is yes, our Future Teachers Programme could be a great option.
Through the ‘Future Teachers Programme’, successful graduates are placed in primary, secondary or special schools for up to a year. Over the course of the placement, graduates will undertake a range of tasks from supporting student learning through one-to-one tuition to planning lessons for a class.
Through every new experience, you will be supported by the school's senior leadership team and, if you decide teacher training is your next step, we can give you the information you need to decide which route to qualification is most suitable.
To provide graduates with the best opportunities for success at the start of their careers, we are delighted to offer FREE online professional development support through our sister company Best Practice Network.
You will receive access to six online support packs. Each pack contains six hours of content aligned to both the Teacher Standards and Early Career Framework, and are designed to support the practice of Future Teachers. These packs are recommended but not compulsory. Badges are rewarded for the successful completion of each pack.
