Entertainment

Entertainment has always been a form of self-care, but 2020 really forced it through the motions. From stay-at-home orders glueing us to our televisions, to recreational walks requiring their own soundtracks, to a reduction in teaching pushing students towards podcasts and audiobooks - we’ve all been more reliant than before on our entertainment.

Teacher Degree Apprenticeships

The Teacher Degree Apprenticeship is a new route to become a qualified teacher, offering a salaried, on-the-job experience while you study for a bachelor's degree and gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This pathway is ideal for those passionate about teaching who do not yet have an undergraduate degree but want to build a career in education.

Teacher training

If you’re considering teaching in a UK state school, you’ll need to have a degree, and a recognised teaching qualification. Initial Teacher Education or Training (ITET) programmes across the UK are broadly similar, providing a combination of academic study and time in school, as you learn about key teaching methods. The routes, entry requirements, and statutory teaching standards are different depending on where in the UK you plan to train, and ultimately, teach. You can apply through UCAS for the main postgraduate and undergraduate teacher training programmes in Wales and Scotland. For programmes in England, use the DfE's 'Apply for teacher training' service.
