Dedicated mentoring and support

Mentoring provided by both your accredited provider Roehampton University or Inspiring Future Teachers and the school, who visit across placements and can really help you to progress towards meeting the teaching standards.

Learn from the classroom

Learn both in the classroom, studying the theory behind teaching, and ‘on the job’ from current leading teachers who are implementing policy changes and current thinking in education.

Relationships that kick start your career

The relationships with your placement schools are closer than other ITT routes; this means you are better supported and have greater chances of employment once qualifying – 100% of the 2022 cohort secured ECT positions in one of their placement schools.

Great schools need great teachers

Why teach in London?

London is a dynamic, diverse place to start your teaching career, with some of the best schools in the country and access to fantastic training, support and career development.

In London, you’ll find unparalleled access to cultural institutions and activity, full of exciting opportunities to enrich the curriculum for your pupils.

London schools regularly outperform the rest of the country, and many London schools work closely with the Education Endowment Fund, Research Schools, Teaching School Hubs, Maths and English hubs and world class universities who are leading research into how best to support pupil progress. London schools are leading the way in ‘closing the gap’, ensuring barriers to learning are successfully overcome and that no child is left behind.

“It is vital that the demographic of staff is representative of the school. Children need role models and more importantly, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups of children need to see leaders that look like them!”
