Apply now for teacher training with Primary Advantage – starting September 2023

We are now looking for high quality candidates to train to teach with us from September 2023 on the School Direct Tuition (PGCE) route.

Our School Direct Tuition (PGCE) training is offered in partnership with the Institute of Education – UCL, a global leader in teacher education, whose teacher-training is recognised by Ofsted as outstanding in every criterion.

By applying through Primary Advantage on this route you will enrol with UCL and know your placements will take place in our schools in Hackney, and know in advance where you will be placed so that you can get to know your school before you start the course in September.

Our schools are wonderfully diverse places and we encourage applications from all, and particularly from our local community.

In order to start training in September you will need: GCSEs (A*-C / Grade 5 or higher) in English, Maths and Science, and a Degree 2:2 or above.

We welcome your enquiries and if you would like to find out more you can:

·       Talk to us directly – just call or email us, we are happy to help

·       Arrange a visit to one of our schools, or a period of school experience

·       Attend one of our small friendly ‘train to teach’ information sessions – in person or online

·       See more about our teacher training programmes, entry criteria and application process here: https://primaryadvantage.co.uk/train-to-teach/school-direct-post-graduate-teaching-apprenticeships/school-direct-primary-tuition-fee/

Applications can be made from October 2022 onwards and places are allocated on an ongoing basis.  Applications are via the DFE becoming a teacher portal.

For more information you can fill in this form or contact the PA Learning, Development and Partnerships team on palearning@primaryadvantage.hackney.sch.uk or 020 7254 1010 (option 5)

Later in the year a small number of Post Graduate Teaching Apprenticeships might also be offered and we will update our website and open the vacancies on the DFE pages at that point.
