St Edward’s School invites strong Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) graduates to train as teachers as part of the National Modern Languages SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training). SCITT is a government funded scheme which offers trainee teachers a unique experience consisting of a blend of academic training and school placements in both state and independent schools as a route to qualified teaching status (QTS) and a post graduate certificate in education (PGCE). It allows trainees to gain hands-on experience from the outset.
Note that the one-year course is coordinated via the National Modern Languages SCITT and the Sheffield Teaching School Alliance.
Applications are open to:
– Recent graduates with a good honours degree in MFL
– Graduates with a good honours degree in MFL looking for a career change
– Native speakers with a good degree
Subject to eligibility, successful applicants will receive a £25,000 bursary. Bursaries are also available from The British Council, and a student loan can be taken out to cover the £9,250 tuition fee. Knowledge enhancement courses may also be available.
The course start date is August 2024.
If you are a talented and passionate linguist, this could be the start of the path to a very rewarding career as a teacher.
