About Us

‘We have worked with 2Schools Consortium for a number of years and have been part of the recruitment process at all levels; we have put our own staff forward, have interviewed students to train and recruited students who have completed their training elsewhere.  We very much value the relationship that has been established and the support we receive.  Our experience of the postgraduate teaching  apprenticeship has been very good and we have been able to employ a number of amazing teachers. Helen Thomas. Headteacher, Alma Primary School

Absolutely couldn’t put into words how effective it has been for us. Every year we employ our trainees so in my 5 years of headship, I have never put an advert out for a teaching vacancy.

I’ve had such an amazing experience. It has really been worthwhile. Lesley Iwuoha, Trainee Teacher 2017-18 and NQT 2018 at Starksfield Primary School

It has been amazing working with you all, you have been so supportive. It has been an amazing journey, I have become who I have because of the people and support around me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to train as a teacher. Mahbuba Poptani, Trainee teacher 2018.19 at Churchfield Primary School
