• QTS tests in Numeracy and Literacy must be passed before commencement of the course. Ideally these should be taken either before interview or within 6 weeks of an offer.
• You will also need to demonstrate a good understanding of the education system gained from work or placement in schools or experience of working with secondary school aged pupils.
• You will be required to successfully complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application and be certified fit to teach.
• We recommend you submit a well considered personal statement on the UCAS application form as this is a key part of the short listing process.
