About our school experience

We would offer candidates the opportunity to observe lessons in the subject they are interested in as well as other faculties and departments e.g. SEN.
They can have time with the staff in their area of interest asking questions about teaching and the curriculum.
We will also build in time with the Teaching and Learning Lead so they can find out more about the Teacher Training process as well as teaching more generally.
During their time with us, they will be fully integrated into the school environment, interacting with staff and students. - Start and finish times
