Being trained in Early Years is an asset if you ultimately decide you want to teach children beyond seven years, but within the primary age range. The training we provide will give you firm foundations on which to build your teaching career with your chosen age group.
Our training programme is extremely exciting and unique as we are the only Early Years Teaching School in the county. We have a very high employment track record with our students, many of whom find employment within Bristol before they complete the programme with us.
Come and learn best practice from nationally recognised experts in the field. We work in close partnership with Sheffield Hallam University. You will attend the Teacher Training Centre in Workington for a number of days throughout the year in addition to receiving 15 specialist pedagogy training days within Good and Outstanding schools, which will be led by Specialist Leaders in Education and experienced teachers and trainers. This design helps you to bridge from theory to practice.
As part of the Apprenticeship you will have placements in five different local schools (at least one of which will be your Host School) covering all different primary stages of education in order to meet the requirements of qualified Teacher Status(QTS). All of our partner Schools have been recognised as good or outstanding and work in partnership with ELLEN who provide local specialist training in key areas. Students receive high quality training from expert practitioners. As a student teacher you will attend all staff meetings and CPD opportunities at the school and these will compliment training provided by the university and Teaching School.
All placements will be within the West Cumbria area.
