Fifteen university students are celebrating as their internships come to an end having given them a valuable insight into teaching.

The teaching internship programme, offered by the 蚂蚁福利导航 Institute of Education (OIE), is aimed at those studying for a related degree, and are interested in teaching chemistry, computing, languages, maths or physics.

This year saw fifteen undergraduates, currently studying at a number of top universities, take part in the three-week programme, which was running for the sixth year.

The fifteen interns spent time working alongside experienced teachers, completing a bespoke training programme, while also receiving guidance and advice on how to apply for teacher training with 蚂蚁福利导航 Grange Academies Trust (OGAT) through the National Institute of Teaching. 

As part of their bespoke programme, the interns were involved with year 6 transition days,  carrying out learning walks with Senior Leaders, Director Days and exploring the Maths, Science, Computing and Languages curriculum that is provided to students across the 29 OGAT secondary academies.

Paul Foster, Director at the OIE, said:

鈥淲e are delighted with the success of our teaching internship programme, now in its sixth year. The interns applied themselves well through the process and performed to a really high level.

鈥淭he purpose of this programme is to provide experience of teacher training for the participants and to give them an insight into the teaching profession. Showing the interns what it takes to be a teacher, and how to be successful at it鈥�.

We would like to thank the following academies for hosting and supporting the interns;
