About our school experience

Details

We have a range of partnership schools that will be able to offer school experience and if we are not able to offer time at Rushey Mead, the Leicestershire Secondary SCITT will organise an alternative venue.

On these placements, you will observe teachers in the classroom and see the realities of teaching so you understand why we love this career.

Start and finish times
8.20am to 3pm - Flexible

We can offer slots throughout the day when you could come in, find out about the school and teacher training before gong and observing teachers in the classroom.
