About Your Training Provider

Our research-led course will give you plenty of hands-on experience and our curriculum focuses on supporting you to put learning into practice, to have an impact on pupils during a four day a week core school placement from September to July. You will have one day a week to engage in training and development , as well as a six-week placement in a different school. The programme balances developing your subject knowledge and expertise alongside giving you an understanding of effective teaching methods to manage your workload and wellbeing.

In September, you’ll have two weeks of intensive training, focusing on the core areas of teaching such as behaviour management and lesson planning. You will have a further two weeks of intensive training later in the year.

In your school placement, you will spend your time with other expert teachers, observing their lessons and learning how to teach and plan lessons and throughout the year practise your own teaching. You will work closely with a highly skilled and knowledgeable mentor, alongside other colleagues, who will also receive support and training from.

Your weekly training day is designed in collaboration with Teach First’s expert curriculum designers to make sure you are focused on the areas of teaching that are most relevant to that point in the year. The training will include a mixture of online and face-to-face elements and will ensure that you develop the knowledge and skills you need to become a great teacher, gain your Qualified Teacher Status and your PGCE.
The programme also includes a six-week placement in another school in January. You will spend time working with children of a different age, this may mean spending time in a nursery, a primary school, a secondary school or in post-16, depending on your specialism. You may also have the opportunity to work with SEND schools across Leicestershire. These experiences will ensure you have a broad experience of teaching and further prepare you for your future career as a teacher.
