Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP)
The GT Programme is an employment based-route into teaching, where the trainee undergoes their training towards Qualified Teacher Status whilst working in a school and receiving a salary…. The Programme is characterised by extensive classroom and school-based experience, supported by a core training programme provided off-site. The trainee becomes part of a team of experienced professionals in a school from the start of the school year and is therefore able to benefit from opportunities to work and learn alongside experienced and expert teachers.

'Working with young people is what drew me in to teaching, so for me, the appeal of more hands on experience within the classroom was the deciding feature. It was definitely the right decision for me, as the intensive yet highly enjoyable course has taught me more in a year than I ever imagined' (Art Graduate Trainee, 2008-2009)
