Do you have a degree; GCSE English, maths and science level 4/C and a desire to transform the lives of the children in our schools?
Have you considered the 5 Wells Teaching Apprenticeship?
The programme is FREE and you receive on the job training in your own school, with the support of 5 Wells and London Metropolitan University.
The Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship is a nationally recognised, work-based route into teaching; an alternative to a traditional full-time university course, offering participants a postgraduate-level qualification, no tuition fees, and the opportunity to earn while they learn. Our apprentices achieve very highly. All have continued in employment in local schools. This exciting and challenging route is the perfect preparation for your teaching career.
Training will be mostly in your own school and you will undertake another placement in a contrasting setting and key stage, giving you a variety of hands-on experience. You will have 20% guaranteed off-the-job training, split between ‘university’ days and school-based training tasks.
This is a Level 6 (degree level) course leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Our apprentices also undertake a Level 7 (Master’s Level) PGCE. This structure gives you room to develop your classroom practice and to examine the underlying principles and values around education. This course has two modules designed to help you develop an understanding of your future role as a primary school teacher:
· The Curriculum Studies module introduces you to the issues of teaching within urban, multicultural and multilingual schools. You’ll address the challenges of language, diversity and equality across the curriculum and learn how to teach core subjects including English, Mathematics and Science.
· The Professionalism and Inclusive Practice (PIP) module gives you an understanding of the broader contexts and a framework for meeting the needs of all the children you’ll teach, linking to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC),
You will be supported by your school-based mentor and university tutors. The latter will also lead your university sessions, ensuring there is continuity of support throughout your training. By working in both environments, you will reflect on the links between your own teaching theory and practice.
LMU training is highly rated by Ofsted, who praised the ‘inclusive, welcoming and open ethos and culture created by course leaders. Combined with the tailored and personalised support apprentices receive, which enables them to successfully complete their training and confidently go on to gain employment.’ (Ofsted 2016)
100% of our apprentices have gone on to achieve QTS and employment as Early Career Teachers.
The programme fees are covered by the Apprenticeship Levy and so there is no cost to you.
