Alongside your passion and drive we require the following qualifications:

• GCSE (or equivalent) Grade C/4 and above in English and Maths 
• A Level Geography is highly desirable
• Honours degree 2.2 or above in a relevant subject - we do consider trainees who do not have a degree in Geography if you have evidence of strong subject knowledge, experience in a career relating to Geography or a strong Geography A Level.

Training takes place one day per week at Weydon School, Farnham, Surrey. Training is divided into Professional Studies and Subject Studies. Professional Studies focuses on more general aspects of teaching such as behaviour management, feedback, mastery and differentiation whereas Subject Studies considers these issues in the context of Geography and support your learning to teach the complexities of the Geography curriculum.

For the remaining four days of the week, you will be based in your host school. Here you will begin the term by observing teachers teach a range of classes that you may eventually be teaching yourself. You will have opportunities to teach small groups within classes, take small episodes within lessons and gradually build towards taking whole lessons and then a series of lessons. By Christmas of the first term you will be teaching around 60% of a Newly Qualified Teacher's timetable. Throughout this time, you will have mentor within your host school. Your mentor will support and coach you, helping you improve and gain confidence. Each week, you will return to Weydon for the next phase of training and for an opportunity to reflect on progress.
