The Buckingham Partnership
The Buckingham Partnership offers a blend of academic and school-based teacher training across a diverse range of linked schools. The Partnership works closely with the University of Bath Spa allowing, to award both PGCE and QTS.
We cover most of the subjects currently taught in English secondary schools.
You will work alongside expert colleagues in the classroom and teach across the key stages 3, 4 and 5. Secondary trainees receive 6 full days of additional specialist subject training during the year.
Trainees have a main placement in one school for the academic year, with a shorter placement at a contrasting school built in during the year.
Secondary trainees are based in school four days a week and attend training at the Buckingham Partnership once a week.
We believe that the key to outstanding teacher training is providing the most varied experiences for our trainees. We have a rich and broad curriculum to ensure you experience every aspect of teaching
From placements in Africa, to experiencing classrooms in remote or disadvantaged areas of this country, we are committed to broadening the experiences of our trainees to allow them to become the best teachers they can be.
We recruit trainee teachers with the vision to see how their experience and talents can help shape the future of education and the futures of the young people they hope to teach.
As a teacher training provider we are committed to training the next generation of visionary teachers. We achieve this through our excellent and varied training programme which utilises both the expert knowledge of our team along with that of skilled practitioners currently working in the education sector.

Our trainees spend most of the year in one or other of our partnership schools where they involve themselves fully in school life gaining valuable in-school experience.
