Entry Requirements
If you are interested in becoming a Primary School Teacher, you should consider applying for work experience opportunities in primary schools. Having this experience helps you to develop your understanding of the classroom environment and can also help you to learn more about developing a rapport with children and adults in the school setting.
All applicants are required, by the start of the programme in September in 2023, to have the following:
- GCSEs in English, Maths and Science at grade C (grade 4) or above. An equivalency qualification/test is acceptable. Visit the equivalency testing website for more information about this.
- A degree in any national curriculum/relevant subject at 2:2 or above.
- Applicants must complete forms requesting an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Morley Exceed Partnership believes safeguarding children is the number one priority. We are committed to promoting the safeguarding and welfare of all of our stakeholders and we expect all staff, trainee teachers and volunteers to share this commitment.
Robust and rigorous recruitment and selection processes are in place to safeguard the children in our schools. Our policies and procedures enable us to better deter, detect and reject people who might abuse children, or who are otherwise unsuitable to work with them.
Successful applicants for ITT will need to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS), Fitness/Health Questionnaire, provide evidence of eligibility to work in the UK and evidence of qualifications. In some circumstances online checks are also completed.
All applicants that have spent more than 3 months (working or living) outside the UK in the last five years, will be expected to provide a police check from those countries as evidence of good conduct.
Applying Through the Department for Education
The official site for all applicants looking to complete School Direct ITT facilitated by the DfE. We would recommend that you apply as soon as you have made your decision to teach because the demand for ITT places is high.
