If you're thinking about taking trainee teachers, why not explore our partnership options?
Our school partners regularly employ the trainees that they have helped to train, either through our university-led PGCE courses or our employment-based Graduate Teacher Apprenticeship. This is a great way to revitalise your school and develop your own workforce.
