If you've applied via our online application form we may contact you to complete a follow-up form or second stage application after which we'll send you an email informing you of our decision on your application and what you need to do next.
If you've applied via the government's Find postgraduate teacher training courses search for one of our ITT routes, we'll receive your application through the Department for Education (DfE) portal. If you've applied to one of our partnerships, they'll receive your application. Our experienced team of staff will review your application and if you're eligible for training and your application is appropriate, we'll contact you to take your application to the next stage. We may phone you to discuss your application further or we may invite you directly to interview in your school.
At your interview you will:
- Give a presentation about the teaching of your subject
-
Be observed teaching a short lesson to a small group of pupils
-
Discuss your experience, skills and potential
-
Take assessments in English and maths
We'll send you an information pack before your interview and you'll have the opportunity to talk to one of our team to get any questions answered.
Following the interview, you'll find out very quickly if you've been successful, usually within 24 hours. We'll then begin our safeguarding and compliance checks and make you a formal offer, which may be conditional on you providing further documentation. We'll keep in touch with you at every step.
