Start Date: September 2025 or September 2026
Salary: Up to £30k – full training and development provided

Are you a soon-to-be or recent graduate who wants to inspire the next generation?

Do you dream of becoming a teacher but want to earn while you learn, supported by expert mentors in a high-performing school?

Whether you're ready to start in September 2025 or planning ahead for September 2026, this is your opportunity to step confidently into the classroom and train to teach—without going back to university full-time.

About the Programme

This is a structured, school-based route into teaching that combines paid classroom experience with specialist training, leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a PGCE, depending on your chosen pathway.

What the School Offers You

• A highly respected teacher training pathway, with a track record of successfully developing future leaders in education
• A full-time salaried position from day one, with the potential for a permanent teaching post upon completion
• Expert mentoring, coaching, and regular feedback to accelerate your progress
• Ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and tailored support through every stage of training
• A diverse and vibrant student body, reflective of London’s rich cultural mix
• A warm, inclusive, and ambitious school culture where staff thrive and students succeed

Who We’re Looking For

• Graduates (or final-year students graduating in 2025 or 2026) with a 2:1 or above in any discipline – STEM, humanities, and languages particularly encouraged
• Strong academic background (A-Levels in relevant subjects are a plus)
• A genuine passion for teaching and learning, and a commitment to young people’s development
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills
• Resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to grow as a professional

Why Choose This Route?

• You’ll gain real-world classroom experience while earning a salary—no tuition fees or student debt
• Unlike many PGCEs, this route allows you to build lasting relationships with students and staff across a full academic year or more
• You’ll be immersed in a high-performing school culture, learning how great teaching works in practice
• By the end of the programme, you’ll be ready to step into a qualified teaching role—with the knowledge, confidence, and support to make a lasting impact

Your future in education starts here.

Whether you see yourself as a future Head of Department, Pastoral Lead, or SEN Specialist, this programme gives you the foundation you need to build a meaningful and ambitious career in teaching.
