We offer superb Initial Teacher Education (ITE) to graduates and career changers joining the teaching profession. As a trainee teacher with us, you will have access to invaluable training, school and classroom experience to equip you with the knowledge, skills and expertise that you will need to become an excellent teacher.

We offer year-long primary and secondary teacher training programmes to graduates and career changers joining the teaching profession through our Harris School Direct programme, offering a strong support network and exciting environment in which to train. We have combined the best elements from a range of training routes to ensure that our beginner teachers leave the course feeling supported, confident and well-prepared.

All our teacher training courses lead to QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), a PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate of Education) and 60 Masters Level credits, giving you access to first class training, invaluable school and classroom practice and learning on the job at a placement in one of our 49 academies.

Benefit from bespoke weekly training days in Bermondsey with your fellow trainees; tailored subject-specific training days; personalised mentor and team support and a second placement in a contrasting school environment, as well as earning a salary on the job or training bursary, subject to eligibility, as you train.
