About the course

On completion of this programme, our trainee teachers will be awarded a PGCE with QTS and 60 Masters credits in Education from Sheffield Hallam University.

Our School Direct programme allows trainees to work alongside innovative, ambitious and child-focused teachers who are passionate about raising standards and transforming lives.

We have a strong partnership with Sheffield Hallam University who are a national centre of education and are recognised for their excellence and innovation in teaching and learning. This partnership creates a collaborative model of training. The training will take place at our conference centre in Doncaster or in our academies, Sheffield Hallam University and in the two designated placement schools.

If you would like to visit one of our academies for a career experience placement before or during your application process, please contact oie.yorkshire@outwood.com and we will organise this for you.

Interview process

Applicants who meet our entry requirements will be invited to one of our academies to complete our selection process. This will usually take half a day and consists of a written task, time spent supporting students in a lesson and an interview with the Teach North team and representatives from the chosen university and Outwood Grange Academies Trust. Please note that you will not be required to teach as part of the interview process.

How school placements work

During the programme, our trainees complete two placements in our alliance schools and academies. The first placement starts in September and ends in December whilst the second placement starts in January and ends in June. The location of these placements is decided by the trainee teacher’s home location and the capacity of the school or academy. Each trainee teacher will be assigned a trained mentor to support and celebrate their progress as they enter the teaching profession.
