Host a trainee

By hosting a trainee teacher, you’re helping to build the next generation of teaching talent, introducing new concepts and ideas that can help improve your schools offering.

Teacher Trainees can come from a number of different routes and sources, each with their own particular benefits to the schools that host them.

We are working with 2 ITT providers:

Roehampton (Primary and Secondary)

Inspiring Future Teachers (Primary SCITT)

We have a track record for recruiting trainees of a high calibre, these trainees frequently go on to be employed by our local placement schools. By hosting a trainee in your school it enables you to tailor the training they receive so that it prepares them for continued employment if they chose to remain with you into their ECT years and beyond.

Key information:
