How will the School Direct Programme enhance your initial teacher training and support your future career in teaching?
The emphasis of our School Direct Programme is on getting to know our trainees well: understanding their needs, identifying their strengths, and ultimately assessing in which school they would be best placed as a newly qualified teacher (NQT) to achieve their goals and make the biggest impact. Our course is structured to give trainees a wealth of school experience and opportunities that they would not necessarily get on a mainstream  programme.

- Finding a Job - We will work with Liverpool’s Local Authority to identify schools that are looking to recruit NQTs for academic year 2020/2021.
