Build the Future of Teaching – Sustainably and Strategically
At Grad2Teach, we believe the future of education lies in matching High-Potential Graduates and ambitious career changers to schools where they can truly thrive.
Our two-phase programme carefully identifies, develops, and places aspiring teachers into schools that share their values and ambitions. Through our supportive, tapered salary model and inclusive approach to development, we help trainees succeed — and crucially, we help them stay.
Phase One prepares each trainee through Foundation, Application, and Assessment terms, giving them the skills and confidence to enter full Initial Teacher Training (ITT) at the right time for them – and for you. Each term stands alone, offering flexibility without compromising quality.
In Phase Two, trainees move into one of three pathways to Qualified Teacher Status: PGCE, Teaching Apprenticeship, or Assessment Only (AOR). Each route is carefully aligned with the trainee's readiness and your school's needs.
How We Build Your Future Teachers
Step 1: Identify Talent
High-Potential Graduates and career changers carefully selected to match your school's ethos and needs.
Step 2: Develop Through Phase One
Foundation, Application, and Assessment terms to build confidence, teaching skills, and resilience.
Step 3: Progress into ITT Pathway
Choose the best route to QTS: PGCE, Teaching Apprenticeship, or Assessment Only (AOR).
Step 4: Retain Future Talent
Graduates become confident teachers, paying forward your investment and strengthening your school community.
Our goal is simple: trainees teach in supportive schools they love, stay for the long term, and pay forward the investment that schools make in them — strengthening education from within, not relying on expensive external recruitment models.
