The Raleigh School

The Raleigh School, consisting of 436 pupils aged from 4 to 11 years, is situated in the semi-rural village of West Horsley, near Guildford. It is an ‘Outstanding’ school and has been heavily involved in teacher training over the past decade. Formerly a 'lead school' for teacher training, we now work closely with the South Farnham SCITT. Our highly-experienced staff perform a variety of roles within the SCITT. These include Mentor, Support Tutor and trainer. Ofsted ranked the school as ‘Outstanding’ in 2017.

We work very closely with South Farnham SCITT, where trainees can choose to apply for the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) only programme or the PGCE with QTS. This one year programme includes local weekly professional studies training and placements in local schools.

During your time with us you will have the opportunity to:
• observe outstanding teaching and learning
• shadow a teacher in the day-to-day school life
• find out more about school direct teacher training
• find out more about the wider roles and responsibilities of teachers
