Job overview
Train to be a teacher of modern languages via our National Modern Languages SCITT.
If you have a good honours degree in modern languages or are a native-level speaker with a good honours degree in another subject and want to make a difference, then this could be the career for you. There is a national shortage of language teachers in the UK and so you would be joining a respected profession with excellent opportunities for career progression.
The National Modern Languages SCITT, based in Sheffield but with geographical hubs across England, was created in response to this national shortage and focuses solely on training language teachers.
It is different to other teacher training courses because:
- It is a national, rather than local, provider. This means we can offer you placements across the country.
- It focuses solely on modern languages, drawing on specialists in this field to ensure that everything you are taught is directly relevant to your future career.
- It is a partnership between both state and independent schools, offering a range of placements in both sectors and thereby widening your employment prospects at the end of the course.
The one-year course is a combination of academic training and placements in schools.
Location
Trainees will be based in one of our geographical hubs, which are currently: Bolton, London, Oundle, Abingdon or at the SCITT Centre in Sheffield.
Entry Requirements
A good honours degree or a recognised equivalent qualification with a high level of fluency in at least one modern language. High fluency in English is essential. GCSE English and Maths Grade C or above or equivalent. If English is not your first language, you may need to take The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test and gain an average score of 7.0.
You must also successfully complete pre-entry tests in numeracy and literacy as designated by the National College for Teaching and Leadership.
It is recommended that you have evidence of some relevant teaching experience. This could be through a School Experience placement or via voluntary work you have organised yourself, or experience gained in another setting. This experience is not a compulsory requirement but would of course support your application. If you are unsure about this or want to discuss it further, please contact us.
We consider each application on its merits. Suitable applicants will be invited to a selection event involving an interview. As you will be working with children, you will be required to complete a declaration of criminal convictions and health check forms.

About Chorus Education Trust
- Chorus Education Trust
- c/o Silverdale School, Bents Crescent, Sheffield

- United Kingdom
Chorus Education Trust was founded on Silverdale School, a popular and high achieving school in the south west of Sheffield, that was named the Top State Secondary in the North of the Decade by the Sunday Times for 2020.
We believe that every child in our region deserves the best education possible, and we know that there is outstanding expertise across our region that can be harnessed to make this happen. That means drawing on one of the biggest strengths in the education world – the willingness to share, support and collaborate.
Working with both primary and secondary schools in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, we are working to build a trust that provides the very best education for young people, where ever they live.
At the heart of the trust is the South Yorkshire Teaching Hub, which supports more than 318 schools within the Sheffield and Rotherham area. One of the initial six hubs awarded teaching school hub status in 2020, it is now one of the 87 National Teaching School Hubs and has been redesignated to continue its vital work until 2028.
Tasked with delivering the golden threads of ITT, ECF, AB and the entire NPQ suite on behalf of the DfE and our extended educational family, the hub has a real impact on local and national recruitment, development and retention. Under its organisational umbrella sits the Sheffield Teacher Training Alliance (STTA) which has over 11 years' experience of delivering ITT within our region and the National Modern Languages SCITT (NML SCITT) which has over 6 years' experience of delivering national teacher training across the state and independent sector.
