Graduate Teacher Programme
The GTP is a school based, salaried route to becoming a qualified teacher. The majority of time is spent in school with training sessions in a University which offers GTP.Note that GTP posts in school should be supernumerary to the school’s teaching complement.
Some schools advertise GTP places on the HCC education jobs website at:
www.educationjobs.hants.gov.uk (select ‘Teaching’ from the menu).
‘Local’ universities offering GTP courses are Reading, Chichester and Southampton.
Prospective trainees should have a school placement agreed before applying to a University Provider.
For further, up-to-date information please follow the links below to the universities’ own GTP pages.
Note that Providers have their own application forms, varying application deadlines etc, so you should ensure you check out the individual university’s details.
