References

All applicants need to provide details of two referees.

Applicants will be given the following referee advice if you are currently at university or have gained a degree within the last 5 years;

  • One reference must be from someone at your university who can comment on your academic ability and potential as a teacher;
  • The second reference can be from someone who knows you from work or can comment on your character and potential to be a teacher.

Once the application has been received and processed  it is made available online for us to consider. Please note we do not see your application until both references are completed so make sure your referees know they will be contacted and that they are happy to provide a reference for you.

Entry Requirements

For all programmes:

  • A first degree (normally we ask for a degree at 2.2 or above) from a recognised UK higher education institution (or equivalent overseas Qualification)
  • GCSE Grade C/ Grade 4 or higher (or equivalent) in English, Mathematics, and Science
  • Recent experience of working with children. This can be paid or voluntary work. A minimum of two weeks school experience is normally required as part of the selection process
  • The ability to communicate clearly and accurately in Standard English (both written and orally)
  • A commitment to teach and a motivation to learn
  • Well developed personal qualities and skills such as self-organisation, resilience and reflectiveness
  • A commitment to equal opportunities

 

Additional Information

  • Applicants for teacher training must hold a Grade A-C/ 4-9 pass in GCSE in English, Maths and Science or a qualification of equivalent level and breadth of subject. We do not accept Level 2 certificates in Adult Literacy or Adult Numeracy as we have been advised by the National College of Teaching and Leadership that there is insufficient breadth of information studied in these courses for entry to teacher training.
  • If you hold a degree or other qualifications from a non-UK institution, you must verify their equivalence through the National Recognition Information Centre for the UK (UK ENIC): www.enic.org.uk You will need to supply written evidence of this information with your application.

Applicants who do not hold Maths, English, Science GCSE Grade C (or above)

If you do not hold a GCSE in Maths or English at grade C or above or an equivalent qualification, you can still apply as long as you indicate on your application form that you are taking an equivalency test. We accept equivalency tests from:

A*Star Teachers www.astarteachers.co.uk  Tel: 020 7272 7070

Equivalency Testing  www.equivalencytesting.co.uk Tel: 01277 203336

A pass in these tests will be acknowledged by Henry Maynard Training E17 as being equivalent to Grade C or above at GCSE/GCE O-level.

Results of equivalency tests / GCSEs must be received by Henry Maynard Training E17 by 30th June 2023 – we cannot wait for results of normal GCSE exams (which usually do not come out until August) so would not recommend you arrange to take these.

If you need support with arranging or preparing for your equivalency tests, please do get in touch.
