About Us
Teach North West School Direct is an initial teacher training model for local people, offering a flexible alternative to a further year’s study away from home in Bolton, Merseyside and East Manchester.
Our nurturing and ambitious programme, run as the Teach North West alliance with the University of Cumbria, offers the same content and qualification as the traditional PGCE course, but with an added focus on gaining classroom experience from the start.
Our Programme
If you find that you learn best ‘on the job’ and would prefer to do all of your training and practice at school, as an associate member of staff, then School Direct with Teach North West could be the best route for you.
We provide a programme tailored to suit your learning journey. We carefully build a picture of your strengths and passions from our first meeting and work with you to increase your confidence, hone your skills and, ultimately, achieve your full potential.
Our programme is well established across the North West, set in alliances across three location hubs – Merseyside, East Manchester and Bolton. Some of our partner schools are part of wider multi-academy trusts and teaching schools – giving you a variety of professional networks to tap into from your first day with us.
Become a qualified primary school teacher through School Direct with Teach North West; learning first-hand in the classroom, from day one. Train to teach in your local school, meet new friends and build your professional network, whilst making a difference to local children.
Teaching is a career, not a course. We look beyond course completion and pride ourselves on offering a tailored and nurturing experience for all trainees. Join us for your teaching journey to help transform children’s lives.
