School Experience
We believe that having some school experience is extremely beneficial if you are considering training to be a teacher: it allows you to see the nature of the role and make sure that it is right for you before you apply or undertake your training.
To support potential applicants to gain this invaluable experience, GLF Teacher Training offers one-day school experience visits to a selection of schools within our partnership. These events are designed to help potential candidates gain an insight into teaching and learning at a GLF School while also discovering opportunities available across the other schools in our Trust. They offer an excellent opportunity to explore teaching as a career, meet education professionals, and find out more about training and employment opportunities within our local school community.
