About our school experience

Details
We will offer a full day if we can, or we can do a half day if that suits you better. These will be in the curriculum area you have requested, but may not always be a single subject e.g. in science and languages, you should expect to see a mix of subjects. All visitors will see a range of age groups. In exam periods or towards the end of the summer term when whole year groups are off timetable, this does make a whole day of school experience more difficult. You will be encouraged by the class teacher to interact with the students and discuss the content of the lesson, their learning and progress.
Start and finish times
8.20am to 3pm - Flexible

Just let us know if you need flexible start or finish times.

Teacher training

Tanbridge School is the lead school for the Tanbridge Teacher Training Hub, which is part of the wider Inspiring Future Teachers SCITT.
Within these schools, we have a vast range of experience in leading initial teacher training and in delivering a quality curriculum alongside practical experience in school placements enabling trainees to become confident, established teachers in their own right.
Training and recruiting teachers through our programme allows our partnership of schools to "grow their own" and aims to offer successful candidates a long-term career pathway that goes well beyond Initial Teacher Training.
An exciting part of this route is the ability to select the school of your choice and we feel it's important to have the right fit for you and your school. We are very happy to have a conversation with you after we have received your application as to where might suit you best.
We are happy to guide you through the application process, offer you school experience taster days at a convenient location to yourself and provide support with any finance queries you may have
