There are opportunities to work with pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, English as an Additional Language and children New to English ensuring your teacher training experience is both rewarding and fulfilling. 

During your time in school, you will work alongside highly experienced school colleagues and gain experience across the breadth of the curriculum and across your age-range. This will give you a deeper understanding of a child's educational journey from early years to secondary school.
