We are looking for individuals who bring passion and energy to their role, with a love for learning and, for secondary applicants, a genuine enthusiasm for their subject that inspires pupils to embrace education. Confidence and personality are essential—you should be able to engage pupils effectively, speaking with clarity and enthusiasm. Professionalism is key, reflected in your appearance, mindset, and conduct. Finally, resilience and commitment are critical. Teaching is both rewarding and challenging, and we need someone ready to persevere through tough days with determination and dedication to their pupils’ success.
We have trainees on our programme from all walks of life and ages. Our past trainees have included those who are changing careers after working for a long time in jobs outside education, and those straight from their undergraduate study at 21. We are committed to producing teachers that reflect the population of our region and welcome applications from diverse backgrounds.
