How to Apply

All applications will be processed via DFE "Apply"

Once you have applied on the website, we will review your application and then invite you to an interview. We will email you with full details of your interview arrangements.

Top tips:

 You will need two referees, who will complete their reference online.

  • Your personal statement will outline why you want to be a teacher and what personal qualities you have that make you suitable to start your training.
  • Please list all of your previous employment and work experience, not just that which relates to teaching.

Entry Requirements

The entry requirements for Schools Direct teacher training must be met by the time you start your teacher training course:

 Bachelors Degree

  • GCSE English Language and Maths at grade 4 or above or equivalent
  • GCSE Science grade 4 for primary teaching applicants

 *Any qualifications that were gained outside of the UK are likely to require a ENIC certificate.

If you need to gain GCSE qualifications, we are able to organise for equivalency tests which will meet the entry requirements.
