What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking applications from graduates with a 2.2 or above in Sciences, Computing, Mathematics, or a related discipline. It is not vital that your first degree is in the subject that you intend to teach, but additional training may be needed to enhance your subject knowledge if it is not. Experience working in an educational setting with children and young people will be a benefit, but most important to us is your outlook and drive to continually improve. Teaching is a highly rewarding career choice, but it is one which requires you to hold yourself to the highest of standards, to be self-motivated and work independently and to continually reflect on your practice and how you can succeed. Successful applicants for this program will be resilient, reflective and driven to succeed in everything they do.
If you are interested in the Graduate Trainee Teacher Apprentice position, we would recommend that you contact us for an informal conversation to find out more, or to visit us at Court Fields. In order to do this, please contact Martyn Dudley, Deputy Headteacher via the school office.
