Graduate Teacher Programme

The Graduate Teacher Programme is an apprenticeship model and trainees are expected to take responsibility for their own learning. However, considerable support will be on offer both from the partner school and the Management Group.

There has been a huge interest in this route into teaching and potential candidates are advised to gain some experience of secondary school life, even if only relatively brief induction days. Similarly, experience of primary or sixth form education is beneficial. Trainees are employed on the associate teacher scale and at current rates this means an annual salary of approximately £18,366 including outer London Allowance.

The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) enables schools to employ people who are not yet qualified and train them through a training programme leading to Qualified Teacher Status. The programme suits people who want to change to a teaching career and need to continue to earn while training. The training is tailored to suit individual needs.

The GTP involves one year of postgraduate training. You must have a UK degree (or equivalent) to be eligible. You must also hold GCSE grade C or above (or equivalent) in mathematics and English.
