Are you a recent graduate, on the cusp of graduating, or contemplating a career change? If so, teaching might be your ideal path. It's an incredibly rewarding profession where you can make a profound impact on young people's lives, regardless of their background.

As a teacher, you'll channel your subject expertise and passion to ignite students' enthusiasm for learning. Your lessons could be the catalyst that shapes a young person's future and the career they ultimately pursue.

To teach in state-maintained schools across the UK, you'll need to complete Initial Teacher Training (ITT) or Initial Teacher Education (ITE). Entry is generally competitive, but less so for shortage subjects such as Maths, Physics, and Languages. Upon completion, you'll achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England and Wales.

Invictus schools collaborate with Barr Beacon SCITT, Birmingham Newman University and Haybridge SCITT to offer full-time, one-year secondary and primary ITT programmes.

Once qualified, numerous opportunities await for effective teachers to advance their careers. As of September 2024, the starting salary for teachers in England is £31,650, with higher rates in London to reflect the increased cost of living.
