About the course

This Schools Direct Teacher Training course is deliberately arranged so that your “hands-on” experience in the classroom, always under the close supervision and guidance of an experienced teacher, is complemented by the input from the University of Winchester plus Professional Development days across the consortium to contextualize and inform what you are experiencing in the classroom setting on a weekly basis.

Interview process

Once invited for interview you will be asked to teach a 25 min lesson in the subject area that interests you. You will, of course, be given information about the numbers of students, topic focus plus any other relevant information. We will also ask you to complete a short, written exercise plus deliver a 5 min presentation. The process culminates in a 25 min interview.

How school placements work

You will be placed at a “home-school” where you will base yourself Monday to Thursday, for most of the academic training year. Between January and February half term (broadly) you will be placed in a second, ideally contrasting, school for Monday to Thursday. Fridays are set aside for University or Consortium training and reflection days.
