Where You'll Train

We'll place you in a local ATT academy, based Monday to Friday throughout your programme. At your interview, we'll explore placement options with you - always taking your travel and circumstances into account. We have academies located across the Midlands and the East of England.

You will complete:

• One main school placement for the year, building meaningful relationships with pupils and colleagues.
• A contrasting placement for 2-3 weeks, providing wider experience and confidence in different environments.

Your Learning & Support

Your training programme combines hands on classroom experience with high quality, research informed study. Each week, you'll explore a key area of teaching through:

• Independent study
• Online weekly clinics
• Group sessions with fellow trainees
• Mentor meetings and deliberate practice
• Real classroom application
• Your training covers five essential areas: Behaviour, Instruction, Curriculum, Assessment, Professionalism

Alongside this, you'll study two PGCE modules and complete written assignments as part of your qualification.

Your Support Network

Every trainee receives weekly support from a dedicated, experienced mentor in their placement school. Your mentor will help you:

• Practise new techniques
• Build confidence before going live in the classroom
• Reflect on your progress
• Support your wellbeing with protected meeting time
• By the end of your training, you'll be ready - and excited - to teach independently.
