About the course

Our (3-7 phase) Primary Teacher Teaching Apprenticeship is full time and runs for three terms from September with an end point assessment in the following September.

Our Primary Teaching Apprenticeship is structured to offer training across the age range of 3-7 with a contrasting placement, ensuring teaching experience across the full age ranges.

Kingsbridge School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) is a dynamic, high-quality teacher training provider which offers a school-based route into teaching.

Please note that we only have a very limited amount of Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeships places available.

Kingsbridge currently offers three routes into primary and secondary teaching through the following phases:

  • Primary Programme (3-7 phase)
  • Primary Programme (5-11 phase)
  • Secondary Programme (11-16 phase) with optional post 16 enhancement

Our Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeships are an opportunity for existing school employees and new recruits to retrain or up-skill by undertaking an employment based route into either primary and secondary teaching. On successful completion, apprentices will be awarded the Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship Standard that will enable them to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCert.

Who’s it for?

Candidates will normally already be in full-time employment and be sponsored by their employer or have a school that is willing to sponsor their employment based route.

This degree apprenticeship is offered exclusively to Apprenticeship Levy paying schools and academies. It is open to graduates who are teaching in a variety of settings such as academy schools and maintained schools with students aged 4 – 19 years old.

This programme is designed for experienced professionals and graduates aspiring to become teaching professionals within primary or secondary school settings.
