Entry requirements

Applicants need GCSE grade 4 (or standard equivalent) in English and maths (Level 2 key and functional skills are not equivalent; an equivalency test may be taken if the equivalent has not been achieved), and a first degree of at least 2:2 from a UK higher education institution or recognised equivalent (in exceptional cases, applicants without a 2:2 who show significant experience and/or further study may be considered). Subject-level ability in the specialist subject must be demonstrated, evidenced by A level or Level 3 qualifications and a subject knowledge enhancement course, by the first-degree subject, or by relevant work experience. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to meet the Teachers' Standards, verify identity, complete occupational health clearance, an enhanced DBS check (with enrolment on the DBS update service) and a suitability assessment under Keeping Children Safe in Education, and provide two references (academic, professional, school experience or character; one academic if studying or graduated within five years; one from the headteacher if working in a school). Selection includes a formal interview, a presentation about an aspect of your specialist subject, a reflective task and a classroom-based scenario task, and a data task, all completed on the same day. International applicants need IELTS 7 or above.
