Course summary

THIS IS THE 5-11 COURSE

We provide unique teacher training opportunities in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

Our course is different in the sense that all the training and professional studies sessions are delivered in school. All of our teaching sessions are delivered by school-based staff from our small and niche partnership.

As we are a small group of trainees, the programme becomes very personalised and bespoke as the year progresses. For example, we can alter and change our training sessions to meet your needs.

To date, 100% of our trainees have either been employed or entered into further education.

The teachers in our partnership are outstanding practitioners who share a desire to be at the forefront of curriculum innovation, making learning topical, purposeful and thought-provoking.

We look forward to working with you, offering high-quality training, mentoring and coaching that will develop you as a teacher. Ilkley All Saints’ Primary School is a National Support School which demonstrates our commitment to teacher development.

School placements

These placements will give you the training experiences and access to specialist support that will develop your confidence for the start of your teaching career.

Interview process

You will be invited to interview at All Saints’ Primary School, Ilkley. At interview, you will be asked to discuss a planned teaching activity around a storybook of your choice. You will also be asked a series of questions by the ITT Lead and a member of the ITT team related to your aim to become a teacher.

International candidates

You’ll need the right to study in the UK. You already have this if, for example, you:

• are an Irish citizen
• have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (you may still be able to apply)
• have indefinite leave to remain in the UK

If you do not already have the right to study in the UK, you may need to apply for a visa. The main visa for fee-paying courses (those that you have to pay for) is the Student visa.

To apply for a Student visa, you’ll need to be sponsored by your training provider.

Sponsorship is not available for this course.

If you need a visa, filter your course search to find courses with visa sponsorship.

Alternatively, check if you’re eligible for a different type of visa, such as a Graduate or Family visa, that allows you to train to be a teacher without being sponsored.
