Why become a teacher?

Teaching is rewarding, in more ways than one.

• Once qualified, you’ll start on a salary of at least £30,000, or more in London.
• Nurture your passions and hobbies inside and outside of the classroom, with up to 13 weeks of holiday.
• Receive one of the most generous pension packages around – a career that’s exciting and secure.
• In subjects with a particular need, you could be eligible for a tax-free bursary or scholarship to fund your training.
• Develop and grow rapidly in your career with additional responsibilities that lead to pay increases.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for the graduate who isn’t afraid to do something different with their degree – something that impacts society for the better.

The best teachers will bring not only their love for their subject to the classroom, but also their life experiences and lessons learned.

To train to teach, you’ll need:

• A degree or equivalent qualification.
• GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above in maths and English, and in science if you’d like to teach in a primary school.
