Teacher Training Programme (Teach Hurst)
Excellent staff are key to our success
What is our ‘Teach Hurst’ programme?
One of the keys to our success has been excellent staff. The college has made a point of recruiting and training individuals – who have the potential to become outstanding teachers – straight from university or those who have had initial careers in other areas.
Our pioneering three-year ‘Teach Hurst’ programme is the result of a considerable investment of time and money. The programme is fully-funded and includes sponsorship of PGCE and NQT training, a starting salary of £22,560 per annum (currently under review), free on-site accommodation (if required) and free meals (term time only).
We are always on the lookout for well-qualified graduates/undergraduates, across a variety of subject areas, to be part of our programme.
In essence our programme consists of:
Year 1 Building classroom experience, knowledge and pedagogy through observation and class teaching on a reduced timetable.
Year 2 A fully funded, in-school, PGCE course
Year 3 NQT Year
Throughout this time we offer close and supportive mentorship, and a CPD programme.
