The Programme Includes
- School Orientation Experience - a 5-day introductory placement before Summer term ends where you get to know the school, pupils, colleagues, the community and where you’ll be working so you can hit the ground running in September.
- Summer School - Highly-rated by our trainees as the perfect start to their training and a great way to prepare for their first few weeks in school, our Summer School brings trainees together for two weeks in August (5th - 16th) to learn about the programme, educational theory, and practice.
- Weekly Coaching and Planning Sessions - Your in‑school coach will observe your progress every week, supporting you by providing constructive feedback and helping you set achievable improvement goals.
- An allocated mentor - a trained lead planner who will help you create effective lessons, developing your planning skills and giving you the opportunity to ask detailed subject‑knowledge questions.
- Weekly Training Sessions - Participate in‑person/ virtual training sessions with your tutors and peers. These sessions provide valuable learning experiences and encourage a collaborative environment for professional growth.
The training programme itself is school-based and you will spend half a day every week in a session with your Ark tutor and other trainees from the network.
We will support you to become brilliant educators and in time, leaders within our network - we offer unrivalled career opportunities for professional growth. We're looking for talented people who will have successful careers within the Trust.
This is a Tuition Fee‑Paying Training Route. PGCE Tuition fees are £9,250.
