Job Introduction
Are you passionate about education and ready to begin your journey as a qualified teacher?
South Farnham Educational Trust, in partnership with South Farnham SCITT, is seeking apprentice teachers to join
our wonderful team at Kings Furlong Infant School and Nursery for September 2025.
The one-year Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship (PGTA) provides a unique opportunity to earn a salary while you
train for your teaching qualification.
What we can offer:
• Pay no fees and earn while you learn: Begin your teaching journey on the Unqualified Teacher Pay Scale while
gaining the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) qualification.
• Exceptional training: South Farnham SCITT is an outstanding, innovative, well-established and highly respected
provider of Primary and Secondary Initial Teacher Training.
• Hands-on experience: Work with experienced educators four days a week in the classroom, fully immersing yourself
in the teaching experience. Spend the remaining day in structured training with other programme members.
• Kick start your teaching career – as a paid employee of the school, you may have some responsibility for whole class
teaching from day 1.
• Specialist support: Access expert guidance from your school mentor and the SF SCITT team, ensuring you excel both
academically and professionally.
• Potential for progression: An excellent pathway to build a long-term career in education.
We are looking for individuals with a passion for supporting, inspiring and teaching pupils, encouraging them to achieve
their best.
To become an apprentice teacher, you will need:
• GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade 4 (C) or above in English and maths (and science if you want to teach primary)
• a degree (this does not have to be in education)
• to be eligible to live and work in the UK for the duration of the programme
An important first step towards becoming an apprentice teacher is to secure a school to employ you for the duration of
your apprenticeship training. If your application to us is successful, South Farnham Educational Trust will support you
with your teacher training application to South Farnham SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training).
