They will build progressively from TA support initially to 40% teaching timetable by the end of year 2. In year 2 and 3, they will spend 3 days in the school and 2 days studying at university. Gradually building their teaching commitment to 60% timetable. In year 4, Apprentices will spend 4 days at school with one further day at University. Their teaching commitment will increase to 80% in preparation for successful completion and QTS accreditation. Teacher apprentices in year 1 will observe and reflect upon practices used by a range of staff predominantly in their specialist subject, but will also receive excellent support and training in reflecting on practises of pedagogy that are transferable in different subjects. They will experience a range of different other roles of the teacher including the work of the pastoral team, SEN and inclusion departments. Teacher apprentices will have a timetable progressively planned to support their development and build their confidence, skill set and ability to teach across Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 by year 4.
