Grads offered an insight into school careers
TRUST’S MEETINGS ON ZOOM TO EDUCATE NEWCOMERS
A UTTOXETER school is looking for teachers of the future to make a difference to the next generation of children, it says.
Thomas Alleyne’s High School, in Dove Bank, is looking for graduates who want to find out more about a career in teaching. It is to run two free virtual events where anyone interested can find out about what it takes to become a teacher.
It is one of a group of schools in the Learning Trust that trains primary and secondary teachers.
Julie Rudge, head teacher of Thomas Alleyne’s High School, said: “It’s been a challenging time in education during the pandemic but also an incredibly rewarding one seeing how much the school and wider community have been pulling together as we continue to do everything we can to support our young people to realise their potential.
“It’s vital that we also continue to support those new to our profession.
“At Uttoxeter Learning Trust Teaching School, we have the expertise, knowledge and skills to share with trainee teachers as part of our commitment to inspired teaching, inspiring children and excellence in professional development.”
The Uttoxeter Learning Trust Teaching School is running two virtual open events for people interested in training to teach including recent graduates and those wanting a career change. The first Train to Teach virtual open evening takes place tomorrow from 4.15pm until 5pm. A second virtual open evening will take place on Friday, February 12.
During the online events, guests will find out about the teacher training programmes available for primary and secondary school teachers starting in September 2021. Bursaries of up to £24,000 are available for trainees in some subjects. Uttoxeter Learning Trust Teaching School works with Keele and North Staffordshire Teacher Education to offer a range of primary teacher training courses.
Trainees gain support from an experienced team of staff and have the opportunity to develop their skills across Uttoxeter Learning Trust’s first, middle and high schools.
