Take the School-led route into Secondary teaching with LJMU and gain Qualified Teacher Status and invaluable classroom experience. Train within a school setting and be involved in school life from the first day of term Choose from a wide variety of Secondary teacher training routes Follow a curriculum developed and delivered in partnership with outstanding local schools Learn from expert teachers Prepare for a career as an innovative and creative teacher with one of LJMU's excellent Lead Partners LJMU's Initial Teacher Education programmes are designed to develop reflective practitioners who are able to apply a deep understanding of the curriculum, learners and learning to impact on the development and achievement of young people. Training on the School-led pathway includes substantial time spent in school, led by experienced practitioners. Bursaries are available on the programme, depending on your degree classification and subject area. The School-led pathway is offered by a number of school consortia, each with a Lead Partner, who works with LJMU to develop their training programme. As each School-led programme is distinctive, you are advised to check full details of training and requirements with the Lead Partner before applying. Applications for places with our School-led consortia are made directly to Lead Partners via DfE Apply. The interview and selection process is conducted by school staff in association with LJMU.
