What to expect

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 1

You’ll be welcomed to your school and, with other interns, receive training on teaching and learning, leading the classroom, and safeguarding.

Week 2

You will observe lessons both in and outside your area of subject expertise, so you get to see how teaching can be consistent while also catering to different subjects and year groups.

You will prepare and deliver your own 10-minute lesson and receive one-to-one feedback on what you did well and what you could improve.

Week 3

After completing your final classroom observations and asking any final questions you might have for experienced teachers and leaders, you will prepare and deliver a short group presentation on everything you have learned during your internship.

Depending on your subject, you might also have opportunities to go on a school trip or attend school events.

It has been a transformative experience and has cemented my desire to be an educator after graduation.
Iqrah, 2024 maths intern

The internship was well organised and has given me more confidence. I’m excited to take my teaching journey forward from here.
Mia, 2025 intern

Not only was I able to observe classes, but I also visited primary schools, went on school trips, attended the school sports day, and taught my subject to a range of year groups.
