Switching careers to teaching

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a career that makes a meaningful difference to thousands of lives? Or perhaps you’re after a challenge, a job which pushes you to grow and develop, whilst rewarding you every day? Whether you’ve been working in a different industry for 3 or 30 years, it’s never too late to consider teaching.

Teacher training: why take the bursary route?

Deciding on teacher training courses can be confusing when there are so many routes available.

Chemistry trainees Lucy and Malika from Paddington Academy told us why they decided to choose the bursary route.

United Teaching maths trainee Corin came to the course through Future Teaching Scholars, a six-year teacher training programme for physics and maths, taking you from your first year of university to your third year of teaching. Here she tells us more about why she loves teaching maths and what she’s looking forward to.
