English PGCE Apprenticeship
English PGCE Apprenticeship
To start September 2026
We are pleased to offer a fantastic opportunity for aspiring educators to pursue training via the Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship pathway in collaboration with the University of Buckingham.
This programme enables you to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) while working at Royal Russell, receiving a salary throughout your training year.
As an apprentice, you will be employed as an unqualified teacher, gaining practical classroom experience from the beginning. The school's Skills and Growth Levy funds will fully cover the PGCE tuition fees.
Alongside your teaching responsibilities, you will engage in a structured training programme provided by the University of Buckingham, enhanced by our exceptional internal continuing professional development opportunities.
The apprenticeship typically lasts for one academic year. During this time, you will receive mentoring and support from experienced colleagues, ensuring you develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the classroom. By the end of the program, you will have achieved QTS and a PGCE.
Applicants should hold a UK undergraduate degree (or equivalent) and have GCSEs in English and Mathematics at grade C/4 or above.
This pathway allows you to earn a salary while training, gain practical classroom experience from the start and complete your PGCE without paying tuition fees.
Further details about the program can be found on the University of Buckingham’s website:
