Teacher Apprenticeships

The GLP, in partnership with Xavier Teach SouthEast and Heronsgate Primary School are offering a Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship route (PGTA) for aspiring Primary teachers.

We offer a 1-year ITT programme in primary teaching, which if successful, will lead to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Apprentice teachers will be paid by the employing school as an unqualified teacher during their year of training (£25,831 in 2023).

Apprentices take responsibility for a class (in KS1 or KS2) and attend professional learning sessions throughout their training year. 

Applicants to the programme need to have:

  • an honours degree (2:2 or above) or an equivalent qualification certified by ENIC

  • English, Maths and Science GCSE or equivalent: Grade 4 and above

Applications for September 2025 start are now open via DfE Apply

Our provider code is 1G2 and the course code for Primary is M799.

Any subsequent offers will be subject to the candidate undergoing all statutory safeguarding checks, including a Disclosure and Barring Service check an online check and an occupational health screening.
