School Direct Trainees
Start: September 2023
Salary: Unsalaried
Contract: 1 September 2023 – 31st July 2024
Are you passionate about education? Are you enthusiastic, and hard working? Would you relish the opportunity to inspire children every day, and use your skills to give something back?
Coldfall Primary School is an outstanding three-form entry primary school in Haringey. We are currently recruiting high calibre, committed graduates to join the school as School Direct Trainee Teachers in September 2022. The school has a successful 15-year history of training graduates to become outstanding teachers.
Unlike the PGCE, the experience of school-based training, enables candidates to develop the practice and skills necessary to embark on the training programme with confidence, giving a first-hand experience of the day-to-day life of a teacher.
Please note that applicants are required to have a university degree (2:2 or better) and GCSE passes at grade C (4) or above in English, Maths and Science. Prospective trainees will be expected to apply for a School Direct training place via the DFE’s ‘Apply to Teach service for the academic year 2023/2024.
School Direct Trainees will have to fund their own tuition fees of £9,250, however financial support is available for unsalaried trainees including a tuition fee grant to cover the costs of the course, and a maintenance loan to help with living costs.
If you have a desire for a more rewarding career, are motivated, and love children, please get in touch.
We would be delighted if you chose to apply to train with us through the unsalaried School Direct route into teaching. Please email office@coldfall.haringey.sch.uk if you would like any further information.
Coldfall is committed to the safeguarding of all our children. Successful applicants will need to undertake a full, enhanced DBS check.
