Not Quite Ready to Apply?
If you’re still exploring your options or would like more information before applying, we’d love to hear from you.

Express your interest and our team will get in touch to answer your questions, guide you through the process, and help you decide if teaching is right for you.

Our interview process has two stages: Stage 1 (Online) and Stage 2 (Face to Face).

We aim to make the process as comfortable as possible so we can get to know the real you.

You’ll meet with two of our ITT leads, and before your interview you’ll be asked to prepare a short presentation and activity. Your performance will be assessed against our Trainee Criteria.

Stage 2 takes place in a local partner school, giving you the chance to meet pupils and experience a real school environment. Please bring valid ID and hard copies of your certificates.

In line with statutory safer recruitment guidelines, we’ll also carry out an online search to check for any publicly available information that may highlight a concern.
