The Bitterne Park Teacher Training Alliance is pleased to offer school experience visits to individuals who may be considering a career in teaching. These events will run from 9.10am to 2.30pm and during your visit you'll have the opportunity to drop into some lessons in your chosen subject area and also find out more about our teacher training programme.
School experience is a vital part of your teacher training application and the majority of training providers require you to have it.
