The Chauncy School
Our OUTSTANDING school is growing and we are looking ahead to the future. A school experience visit may lead to the opportunity to apply to one of our School Direct training programmes and if things go well on the day visit, we can extend the experience and offer direct support with applying for School Direct courses. However - we do urge you to make contact sooner rather than later - some good candidates have been disappointed in the past because they left looking into education too late. We close our visit programme in June.

Placement availability
We offer experience days from October until June. But, we do urge candidates to book a place early. Visits in later months leave little time for a successful applicant for a September 2024 traineeship. We will try our best to give you the day you have requested. However, all our departments do have preferred days. Virtual days are not available.
