If you're considering Initial Teacher Training, or would like some experience before you start, you can visit schools to gain unpaid experience in the classroom.
Why become a teacher?
Teaching puts you at the front - where your ideas, energy and subject knowledge take centre stage.
One day you're bringing complex ideas to life. The next you're leading discussions, challenging perspectives and helping students see your subject in a new way. It's a career where creativity is part of the job, and no two days look the same.
In teaching, the floor is yours. While many graduate careers start with following someone else's plan, teaching gives you the chance to create your own. You'll build confidence, develop leadership skills and gain responsibility from the start.
Start at the front and see how far you can go. Whether you want to deepen your subject expertise, lead a department or take on wider responsibilities, teaching offers opportunities to progress and be recognised for what you achieve.
With a minimum starting salary of £34,000 (higher in London), generous bursaries and scholarships available in eligible STEM subjects, and opportunities to earn over £46,000 within five years, teaching enables you to build a successful career while making a meaningful impact.
Get out of the everyday. Get into Teaching.
