Get Into Teaching
Why become a teacher?
Teaching is a career that shapes you, as much as it does others. Where no two days are the same, and where you can turn your passion into your profession.
You can bring creativity to the classroom every day, and in turn have a lasting impact; inspiring the next generation.
In teaching, as you grow, so does your career. Opportunities for progression are varied, whether that be through a position as head of year or head of subject, or through taking on a pastoral role. With added responsibilities you can expect additional pay rewards.
Nothing says passion for your subject like a career in the classroom. If you're interested in training to teach, Get Into Teaching will tell you everything you need to know.
