“As the School Direct candidate in the Design and Technology department at Garth Hill College I feel very supported by the staff in the department and the School.  My Mentor always has time to discuss my lesson plans, my progress and to give feedback on my targets.  Teachers observing me always give feedback that will help me move my teaching forward.”

“As the schools direct candidate in the drama department I feel like a member of staff and I am fully supported, not only by my mentor but by the school in general. All the staff are really friendly and willing to help where they can. My mentor is a great support and always there when I need him, to look at lesson plans, discuss my progress or just a shoulder to cry on. Being a schools direct candidate is a great experience and I couldn’t ask for a better place to complete my teacher training.”
