Trainees who opt for a School Direct (Salaried) training programme are employed as an unqualified teacher while they learn in the job. This can be a school the trainee is already working at or has an existing relationship with.

If a trainee applies for a School Direct (Salaried) training programme, one of their references must be from an employer.

Fees:

• September 2023 cohort: £8,500, payable by the employer school (VAT payable on fee if non-funded*)

Some schools may consider part-time placements – you’ll need to approach a school directly if you’d like to be considered for a part-time placement. This year, on the School Direct (salaried) route, some schools are offering part-time or abridged programmes.

• The secondary programme focusses on the 11 – 16 or the 14-19 age range and the primary programme takes place across the 3-7 or, 7-11 or 5-11 age ranges.

If your degree subject doesn’t link closely to your chosen teaching subject, you may still be able to apply for a School Direct (salaried) programme by undertaking a subject knowledge enhancement course. You may be asked to take an SKE course as a condition of your offer before you start your initial teacher training programme.
