Benefits

Take control of your recruitment and budget challenges and hire graduates directly into teacher training roles. Graduates will achieve a PGCE, Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship and QTS with the University of Buckingham.

On the job training, immediate impact
Trainees teach a reduced timetable from day 1, developing them to become successful career teachers in your school. Trainees are not supernumerary so will save you on cover and supply costs.
Local graduates for local schools
Select from a shortlist of local graduate applicants as we know that local graduates who know your school and the community it serves become better career teachers than other ‘dropped-in’ grads.
The most comprehensive ITT available
The GTP delivers Qualified Teacher Status, a PGCE and the Post Graduate Teacher Apprenticeship (PGTA) making it the most comprehensive and well-rounded teacher training package available today.
Grow your own teacher apprentices
Place current members of staff on to the Graduate Teacher Programme develop graduate talent who already know your school, allowing you to open up capacity and deliver your vision, your way.

"Much more on the job training that allows them to gain a true reflection of life in a school."

It works

We have piloted this programme in 2021/22 and 92% of trainees achieved QTS, their PGCE and the PGTA.

We have recruited over 3,000 graduates into local schools over the past 13 years and The University of Buckingham is one of the country's leading providers of teacher training. The GTP reflects a remarkable partnership that offers schools the highest quality across every element delivered.
