Scholars Blogs

Training to teach this year has still been one of the best decisions I have made to date. Helping even one pupil has made it worthwhile.

Maths Scholar Chris Warner talks us through why he decided to apply for one of our Scholarships and become a maths teacher.

As soon as I was actually in the room, I was energised and exhilarated. I loved working with the pupils and seeing how different ideas and activities landed.

If there is one thing that I have learnt this year, which has stood out, has been the sheer amount of support you will get as a trainee teacher. No matter what route you take in your training year, you will be surrounded by people willing to help you.
