Learn with England’s largest professional development provider:
We are partnered with national education charity, Ambition Institute,
to deliver our programme. Ambition is England’s largest professional
development provider with 1 in 9 teachers and school leaders in state-funded
schools currently developing professionally with Ambition.
Improve children’s lives: Our mission
with Ambition is to help young people reach their full potential, particularly
those from disadvantaged backgrounds. By joining our programme, you can help
give every child the best possible start in life.
Train in school: You will
complete most of your training in your main placement school and will also gain
further skills and experience in a contrasting school. This school-based
approach will give you immediate opportunities to practise the theory you have
learnt in a classroom and will also allow you to build relationships with your
pupils, teachers, staff, and the wider school community. By the end of your
training, you will have the confidence to teach in a classroom independently.
Be guided by a mentor: You will
also receive one-on-one support every week from your dedicated mentor, who will
be an experienced teacher that works in your school. You mentor will offer
coaching and guidance enabling you to put your learning into practice in a
structured, step-by-step way, before taking it live in the classroom. Your
mentoring sessions will also include protected time to discuss your wellbeing.
Qualify as a teacher in 12
months: On successful completion of the programme, you will have
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education
(PGCE) and 60 credits towards a Master’s Degree. Each of which will help you
thrive in the classroom and start earning a minimum starting salary of £30,000
once qualified.
Benefit from blended learning: We blend
the high-quality academic training you would expect to get from a university
with immersive, classroom learning. You will benefit from a combination of
face-to-face training sessions and theoretical study on our easy-to-use online
learning portal.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply, you will need:
This is a 12-month, full-time, postgraduate programme. You may
