Available Places

There are fewer places available for secondary trainees and there are far more applications than there are places available. Applicants also have to contact schools themselves.

The bulk of places are available in September, however some secondary providers may have additional places available for a January start.

Applying

Secondary applicants are advised to contact heads of department or GTP co-ordinators by letter with a brief CV, offering to assist in lessons or teach on a voluntary basis, as well as asking to be considered for GTP. Emails and phone messages may not be viewed as favourably as a posted letter, and candidates should never visit schools without prior arrangement.

Newham Secondary Schools most commonly work with the University of East London or with the Institute of Education. Candidates should discuss the preferred training provider with the employing School.
