You will attend lectures and seminars at Roehampton University throughout the year.
You will be assigned a tutor from Roehampton who will support you with both the practical and academic elements of the course. You will also be part of a large cohort of trainee teachers in South London.We get to know each trainee and offer excellent pastoral support throughout your journey to becoming a teacher.
