Thinking about a career that makes a lasting impact? There’s still time to apply for Teach West London’s Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme starting this September - but be quick, applications close on Monday 15th June 2025.

Whether you’re a graduate, final-year student or considering a career change, this could be the first step towards a rewarding future in teaching.  

Why train with Teach West London? Teach West London delivers a school-based programme across more than 75+ placement schools in Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow. You'll be part of a collaborative, high-achieving network, gaining real classroom experience and the confidence to thrive from day one. 

What qualification will I gain? You’ll spend one academic year (September 2026 – July 2027) working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You can also choose to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with St Mary’s University. 

How is the course structured? QTS only is four days a week training in school, and one day of professional development with Teach West London. With QTS + PGCE, it's the same structure as above, plus university-led sessions and PGCE assignments. 

What courses are available? All courses are offered on a non-salaried (fee-funded) pathway, with some subjects also available on a salaried route. View available subjects and routes here. 

What about financial support? There is generous government funding available – including tax-free bursaries of up to £29,000 and scholarships of up to £31,000 for high-priority subjects such as maths, science and computing. Learn more about funding here. 

What are the career prospects? Teaching is a career with clear progression and impact. Starting salaries for newly qualified teachers range from £37,780 to £40, 317 in London. Within five years, many teachers move into leadership roles earning £50,000+ and taking on broader responsibilities. Find out more about teaching salaries here. 

Who can apply? Teaching welcomes people from all walks of life. If you have an undergraduate degree (or are in your final year), have experience working with children (paid or voluntary) and want to make a difference then this could be the perfect next step.
