Job overview

Want to train to be a teacher? 

We train over 100 people every year in Sheffield and the Peak District for the best job in the world – being a teacher! 

We have an excellent track record of supporting our trainees into their first jobs – with at least 80-100% of our trainees regularly finding a job within the first month after the course (often in local schools they have made connections with). 

We work with over 60 schools in Sheffield and the Peak District, providing hands-on experience in the classroom as part of your training. 

We also work in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University to provide the academic training element of the course. So you get the best of both worlds – all the support and facilities for students, but your placements are in local schools where you feel part of the teaching team. 

What's involved in our course?

This is a one-year course, which combines academic training at Sheffield Hallam University with two placements in local schools. So you get the best of both worlds - the support and services for students, plus the experience of being part of the teaching team in schools.

What do you gain?

Our training provides trainees with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) including 60 Masters’ credits and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). 

How do you get your first job?

We have an excellent track record of supporting our trainees into their first jobs - with at least 80% regularly finding a role within a month of finishing the course.  We support you with your application and interview preparation. Plus, with over 60 local schools in our network, we have excellent contacts and do our best to highlight upcoming opportunities.

What next?

Co-ordinated by our team at an Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ school in Sheffield, we support you through every stage. 

We are currently recruiting for our next cohort of trainees, who will begin their training in September 2019. 

The successful candidate will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring check in line with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 and the Police Act Regulations.

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.
