Train to Teach London

People in London are being urged to help shape the lives of the next generation by choosing a career in teaching, ahead of a recruitment event this weekend.

Visitors to the Train to Teach event will learn about the huge impact that teaching can have and the rewards and opportunities the career offers.

The event, organised by the Get Into Teaching campaign from the Department for Education, is part of a series visiting cities and towns across the country this spring as part of a national recruitment drive.

At the event, experienced teacher training advisors will be on hand to guide visitors through the training options and next steps.

Representatives from schools and universities that provide teacher training will also be there with insights into how to make a strong application.

Information will be available about the financial support available – you could receive a £26,000 tax-free bursary to train as a teacher.

On the day, anyone interested in teaching as a career can also register for an upcoming school open day where they will be able to get a taste of school life, including observing a range of lessons and meeting teachers.

Applications for teacher training starting this September are now open.
