📍 Where You’ll Train

We’ll place you in a local ATT academy, where you will be 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.

You will complete:

One main school placement for the year, allowing you to build meaningful relationships with pupils and colleagues.
A contrasting placement for 2–3 weeks, giving you wider experience and confidence in different environments.

🎓 What You’ll Learn

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 will cover five essential areas:

1. Behaviour

Create calm, purposeful classrooms where every child can thrive.

2. Instruction

Learn how to teach clearly, effectively, and in ways that help all learners succeed.

3. Curriculum

Discover how to design lessons that build knowledge over time.

4. Assessment

Understand how to check learning and support pupils who need more help.

5. Professionalism

Develop the habits and knowledge you need for a successful long‑term career.

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.
