Teacher Taster Days/Evenings

The day/evening includes lesson observations (day only), meeting current trainee teachers and receiving key information about the training year. The day/evening is designed to enable you to make an informed decision – is teaching for you? Which route suits you best?

Manchester Nexus (part of the Cranmer Education Trust) recommends our Teacher Taster Days to those people who are considering teaching Art and Design, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Dance, Design and Technology, Drama, English, Geography, Health and Social Care, History, Maths, Media Studies, Modern Foreign Languages (MFL), Music, Physical Education, Physical Education with Ebacc, Physics, Psychology, Religious Studies or Social Sciences at secondary level and hold a 1st, 2:1 or 2:2 degree in that subject. We do accept a 3rd in some instances, so do contact us if this applies to you.
