Get into Teaching
As an Associate College of the National Institute of Teaching, we work with partner schools and Laurus Trust schools to train you to become the best teacher possible.
Our one-year programme ensures you gain practical classroom experience across all age groups in outstanding settings. You will be in school and teaching from the start, giving you the practical experience you need to feel confident in the classroom from the day you graduate as an Early Career Teacher (ECT).
Generations of Laurus-trained teachers
We have been training teachers for nearly a decade. Many of our graduates are now successful teachers, middle and senior leaders in schools both within and beyond the Laurus Trust.
Our long-standing partnerships with local schools strengthen our offer, ensuring that those who join our programmes benefit from outstanding mentoring and excellent school leadership.
