This is an ideal opportunity for aspiring teachers ready to take their first steps into education, gain paid classroom experience, and progress into a fully qualified teacher training route within a supportive and nurturing school environment.

About the Future Teachers Programme (SCITT Pathway)

Our Future Teachers Programme is designed to support graduates who aspire to become teachers but wish to gain hands-on experience before committing to Initial Teacher Training.
