Get into Teaching with Kingsbridge
Kinsgbridge currently offers three routes into primary and secondary teaching through the following phases:
- Primary Programme (3-7 phase)
- Primary Programme (5-11 phase)
- Secondary Programme (11-16 phase) with optional post 16 enhancement
School Direct courses generally last a year and result in qualified teacher status (QTS) – most also award you a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) and/or Master’s-level credits.
You’ll train in at least two good schools, getting the chance to learn ‘on the job’ – but you shouldn’t worry about being thrown in at the deep end. You’ll be part of a team from the very start, receiving intensive support from experienced teachers and mentors. That means you won’t be teaching classes unsupported until you’re ready.
The principles of academic rigour on School Direct are the same as on university-led courses, too.
We work with an alliance of 3 primary schools. The Wirral Kingsbridge alliance training is recognised as a high quality model. We have excellent recruitment rates for our trainees. Many of our trainees who complete the programme go on to work within the alliance and local schools.
