Part-time Primary Teacher Training – Fee-Funded Route
From September, we’ll be offering a part-time route through our fee-funded Primary Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme.
This new option is designed for those who want to train to teach but need the flexibility to balance other commitments. Whether you’re juggling parenting, part-time work or caring responsibilities, the part-time route offers a manageable way to train over two years instead of one.
Trainees will spend Wednesdays and Thursdays in school placements, gaining practical experience with the support of expert mentors. On Fridays, training is delivered online, allowing you to study from home and fit learning around your schedule.
You’ll still benefit from the same high-quality support and development as our full-time trainees – just delivered in a way that fits around your life.
