About Us
Tanbridge Teacher Training has come about through a partnership of highly regarded schools in Sussex and Surrey. Within these schools we have a vast range of experience in leading initial teacher training and in delivering a quality curriculum alongside practical experience in school placements enabling trainees to become confident, established teachers in their own right. We are passionate about the rewards and benefits and job satisfaction to be gained from joining this profession.
Training and recruiting teachers through our programme allows our partnership of schools to "grow their own" and aims to offer successful candidates a long-term career pathway that goes well beyond Initial Teacher Training.
An exciting part of this route is the ability to select the school of your choice and we feel it's important to have the right fit for you and your school. We are very happy to have a conversation with you after we have received your application as to where might suit you best.
If you are considering a career in teaching and are passionate about the skills you have to bring to the profession, we would welcome you to apply to train with us. YOU WILL BE AWARDED BOTH QTS AND A PGCE VIA OUR ROUTE.
Many of our successful trainees go on to gain employment with their host school or another in the partnership following their training year, (subject to the school's recruitment and selection processes.) This creates a great transition for trainees to move forward in familiar surroundings to the next stage of their career as an ECT.
"What a brilliant course and experience!
To anyone considering becoming a teacher, I would strongly recommend this course. The Tanbridge team have been nothing short of incredible—supportive, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us grow into confident, reflective practitioners.
The course strikes a great balance between theory and practice, with sessions that are engaging and rooted in real classroom experience.
What really makes this course special is the supportive community. You're never alone, and the team genuinely care about your growth and well-being.
I’m finishing the year feeling confident, inspired, and ready to start my teaching career."

We are happy to guide you through the application process, offer you school experience taster days at a convenient location to yourself and provide support with any finance queries you may have.
If you would like more information to help guide your next steps, answer any questions you may have or find out about our next teaching experience days for both IFT Primary and Secondary training programmes, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at teachertraining@ths.uk.net.
"Tanbridge Teacher Training has been the best possible way to train to teach. Our hub lead has worked incredibly hard to ensure every single person has felt supported during hub training days on Fridays, inspiring and encouraging new ideas to then put into place whilst in host schools Monday - Thursday. This also extends to the PGCE, accredited by University of Brighton; the spiral curriculum means that all aspects of the course contribute to both gaining the PGCE whilst improving teaching throughout the year to gain QTS. The best possible route to train to teach!"
