Why to expect in secondary schools:
Secondary school staff play a vital role in guiding students through key stages of learning, preparing them for exams, further education, and future careers.
From maths and English to science, humanities, and the arts, teaching in secondary schools allows you to inspire and influence the next generation across KS3, KS4 and KS5.

How to become a secondary school teacher?
To begin a career in secondary education teaching, you’ll need to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through routes such as a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), School Direct, or other Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programmes.
We also support graduates who want to train and gain classroom experience.
Frequently asked questions about working in secondary schools
Yes, primary teachers can move into secondary teaching, but it usually requires additional training and subject specialism. Secondary teaching focuses on specific subjects, so gaining subject knowledge through CPD courses, a PGCE, or school-based programs like SCITT can help. Practical experience in a secondary classroom, such as supply work or shadowing, is also valuable.
In some cases, yes. A primary PGCE provides Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which allows you to teach across phases. However, schools may prefer subject expertise for secondary positions.
You’ll need QTS, gained through a PGCE, School Direct, or similar ITT route, often with a degree in your chosen subject.
