Our new Primary Programme is a one year school-based teacher training programme, in which you will be fully immersed in school life and supported, both academically and pastorally, to be the best teacher you can be.
From day one of your programme, you will be in school, working with pupils, making a difference to children’s lives. You will undertake at least two placements in contrasting schools, giving you broad and invaluable first hand school experience.
