Initial Teacher Training
Applications for September 2025 are now open!
Why train to teach?

Teaching is a job like no other. You will educate, inspire and advise. You will see pupils’ eyes light up as they experience the joy of learning – as they discover something new for the first time. 

Our teacher-training course will give you the knowledge and skills you need to transform children’s lives for the better. 

While the task ahead of you may feel daunting, you will never be alone: we offer personalised support from your tutor and your in-school coach. In addition, as a Lift Schools trainee, you will be able to draw on a support network of trainees and early career teachers from all 57 of our schools. 

Applications for September 2025 are now open!

Our school-based teacher training programme is the perfect start to a successful and rewarding career in teaching. The first stage of applying to our programme is to complete our simple online application form.
