At Coleridge we are pleased to welcome people who want to train to teach their chosen subject at Secondary level. As part of United Learning we work with United Teaching to train teachers to a high standard. As you will see from the testimonies on this page, Beginner Teachers have found their experience of training at Coleridge a rewarding and excellent experience.

We do occasionally work with other local training organisations to offer placements to teachers on their first or second teaching practice.

If you would like more information about training to teach with us at Coleridge please contact Germaine Varney: germaine.varney@coleridgecc.org.uk

Early Career Framework

Already have QTS from a PGCE or school based Initial Teacher Training?

At Coleridge we work closely with United Teaching to ensure that our Early Career teachers have the support and challenge that they need. Early Career Teachers have a dedicated mentor and a weekly mentor meeting. They participate in regular professional learning tailored to teachers just entering their career, relating to pedagogy and subject specialism. In addition, all staff at Coleridge participate in regular deliberate practice of teaching strategies in small groups of teachers at all stages of their career.
