Teacher Training Opportunities

Bolton School is now a Lead Programme Partner with the University of Manchester. This is a route into teacher training that means the school will take a lead in providing initial teacher training placements in partnership with an accredited provider. Trainees will complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through this partnership with the University of Manchester.

Bolton School currently offers places in two secondary subjects: Physics and Mathematics. We will endeavour to place those trainees in our school for one placement and then in another school in the local area for a contrasting placement. There is a possibility – though no guarantee – that trainees who successfully complete their training with us as a Lead Programme Partner will be able to access job opportunities should they become available.

In recent years we have hosted trainees in a wider range of subjects from several universities in the region and we will continue to do this separately.

We do not accept applications from international fee-paying applicants. International students who wish to apply to the University of Manchester Secondary PGCE should do so directly to the core PGCE programme in the relevant subject.
