There are two routes into teaching – studying an unsalaried QTS or PGCE at university, or on the job training.

The first route into teaching involves studying at university to gain a teaching qualification, and then applying for teaching jobs.

LEAP schools also offer Post-graduate Teaching Apprenticeships. This route into teaching combines academic qualification with the practical skills you need to become a teacher while learning on the job in our vibrant and innovative schools.

Overview

LEAP offers trainee teachers the unique opportunity to work and learn in one of our exciting, creative and high-performing primary schools. We are all passionate about growing future leaders of learning and believe that all of our routes offer an unrivalled opportunity for trainees to learn and develop in the very best schools.
