#GetIntoTeaching With An Internship

If you’re studying for a degree and looking to #GetIntoTeaching, an internship could help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom. You’ll get to experience a range of activities to help you get a feel for school life.

Internships last 3 weeks, start in June and you’ll be paid £425 per week.

“The support I had was amazing, I was treated like a member of staff, and I was welcomed by everyone.”

Chloe, former teaching intern

Internship subjects

You’ll need to be studying for a related degree and interested in teaching one of these subjects:

  • chemistry
  • computing
  • languages
  • maths
  • physics

If you’re interested in teaching a different subject, you can still get school experience and find out what it’s like to be in a classroom.

“Towards the end of the internship, I was able to teach parts of lessons that I had planned, and I really started to find my feet at the front of the classroom.”

Ben, former teaching intern

What you’ll cover

You’ll get a feel for school life, which could include:

  • shadowing experienced teachers and observing lessons
  • jointly planning and delivering lessons
  • one-to-one guidance from outstanding classroom teachers
  • opportunities to network with qualified subject specialists

“I observed lessons, provided 1:1 support to pupils, and even taught classes! The internship was particularly beneficial in providing a unique insight into teaching training and the application process.”

Carly, former teaching intern
