THE GRADUATE TEACHER PROGRAMME

Information for Potential Applicants

The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) enables schools to employ people who are not yet qualified and train them through a training programme leading to Qualified Teacher Status.  The programme suits people who want to change to a teaching career and need to continue to earn while training.  The training is tailored to suit individual needs.

The GTP involves one year of postgraduate training.  You must have a UK degree 2.2 or above (or equivalent) to be eligible.  As a general rule, your Degree must contain 50% of the subject you wish to teach. You must also hold GCSE grade C or above (or equivalent) in Mathematics and English.

The GTP is highly competitive with places going to the best applications in priority funding categories.
