Reach Teacher Training
Explore our training options for primary and secondary
Our teacher training is community focused, relationship driven and classroom based to rapidly develop the practice of our trainees in both Primary and Secondary schools.
How does the Reach Teacher Training programme work?
Schools direct
Each week you’ll spend four days in your main placement school: inspiring students, learning from colleagues, and gaining valuable experience. On the fifth day, you will receive world-class training.
QTS and optional PGCE
Across the year, every trainee works towards gaining Qualified Teacher Status and all trainees will have the option of also working towards a PGCE remotely through the University of Exeter if desired.
Course costs
Currently, completing the QTS only route costs £8,790 and the QTS with PGCE costs £9790. These tuition fees can be paid using Student Finance for those that are eligible.
Bursaries
Reach Teacher Training Bursaries are available in addition to government bursaries and scholarships. Many trainees are eligible to apply for a maintenance loan on top of these bursaries.
Innovative approach
We use a system of deliberate practice to enable trainees to make rapid progress. We use outstanding practitioners from across our network as mentors and to deliver guest lectures on their area of specialism.
Community drive
Our trainees are fully embedded in the school and broader community to deeply ground their practice. We firmly believe that cultivating strong relations with students, staff and families is crucial.
