The chance to train alongside, and work in partnership with experienced and innovative current practitioners.

A dedicated School based Mentor who, alongside other teachers based in your chosen school and tutors at the University of Brighton, will provide targeted feedback and guidance throughout the programme.

The opportunity to train with like-minded individuals who demonstrate the same enthusiasm and motivation for teaching and can provide peer support and professional dialogue.

Both subject specific training and wider school professional development as part of the School Direct Professional studies programme. This programme combines school based learning with training delivered by the University of Brighton.

The opportunity at the end of the programme for successful students to continue their professional journey within the best schools in West Sussex.
