Teaching

We believe in excellence and provide our teachers with the training and collaboration opportunities to achieve this, to develop the skills to inspire in the classroom and receive recognition through exceptional career development.

A career in teaching will provide you with the skills and opportunity to inspire the next generation. It's not just a job but a career that can be challenging and rewarding and at the end of the day you can go home feeling that you have made a difference.

If you're interested in teaching the Get into Teaching website provides a really good starting point outlining what options are available in terms of subjects, training and possible funding. Once you are ready to make your application the DFE Apply Link here will take you through the process.
