The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) is an employment-based route to becoming a qualified teacher and achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The training, which normally takes three terms, takes account of previous experience and is tailored to suit individual needs. The Training and Development Agency (TDA) pays a grant to cover a trainee's salary, training and resources. Although it is possible to train as a primary or secondary teacher via this route, our consortium only trains primary teachers, who may choose to focus on Foundation and KS1 or KS1 and KS2.

To be considered for the GTP, trainees must have a degree and must also hold a GCSE grade C or equivalent in Maths, English, and Science. Please refer to our person specification for shortlisting and course criteria.

Successful applicants will be placed in one of our partnership schools. If you are considering training in your own school or if we have filled our allocation of funded places and you are in a position to arrange a self-funded placement, please click on the self funded link on the right.
