In partnership with Bromley Schools Collegiate, our School Direct Salaried route leads to you being recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You will be employed as an unqualified teacher at a Prendergast Federation School and attend training sessions with our training partner BSC one day per week.
We offer training in a variety of subjects according to the current training vacancies in our federation schools. As part of your training you will also be required to complete a 6 week placement at another South London school within the BSC partnership.
