About the course

This is a one year course in which you will have lectures at university and then two teaching practices at two different schools off site. Assessments are a mixture of written assignments set by the university and lesson observations and teaching practice assessment forms whilst at school. “UCL Institute of Education (IOE) is a global leader in teacher education. Their programmes are recognised by Ofsted as “outstanding” in very criterion across Primary and Secondary Education.” All UCL School Direct students have full access to UCL student support services and facilities. Seven Kings School is recognised by Ofsted as an Outstanding school and the Teaching Alliance consists of several outstanding schools. Seven Kings has an awarded “Cradle to Grave” programme of support for all teachers of all stages in their careers.

About the training provider

Seven Kings Teaching Alliance has 25 schools who have great experience working with trainee teachers at different levels. Seven Kings Teaching School Alliance is proud to offer primary and secondary teacher tuition route and salaried training through School Direct, a school-based teacher training route. Trainees work alongside highly experienced classroom practitioners and have more of their training in school.

As a Teaching Alliance we have vast experience in Initial Teacher Training and are proud of our achievements in turning inexperienced trainees into outstanding teachers and leaders of the future. Many of our trainees now hold positions in middle and senior leadership roles. It is expected that trainees will go on to work within their host school or group of schools although there is no absolute guarantee of employment.
