Thinking of teaching?

If so, book onto a school experience day:

https://schoolexperience.education.gov.uk/

School experience days involve:

  • observations of lessons within the school setting
  • a chance to meet a trainee teacher and/or an early career teacher
  • opportunities to discuss routes into teaching
  • information on how to apply, finances and what a training year looks like
  • a chance to see if teaching is for you

These may also lead to two additional days in the academy.

Data when applying is only visible to Diverse Association for Professional Learning, and will only be used to contact you in the context of organising school experience.

We have a commitment to safeguarding. Photo ID will be needed on the day, and you will be escorted on site at all times.

We hope that after completing a school experience day, you will go on to make an application for teacher training within one of Diverse Association for Professional Learning Schools.
