"The main aspect that drew me to Teach Hurst over a regular PGCE route was the way in which I was able to work in the classroom straight away. This may seem quite daunting but I was supported by my mentor, Head of Department, Director of Professional Development and Performance and a large group of like-minded individuals who were also beginning their training."

- Mr Nick Chadwell, Housemaster and Business Studies Teacher

Programme in essence

• Year 1: Building classroom experience, knowledge and pedagogy through observation and class teaching on a reduced timetable.
