Train to Teach with Outwood

As founding partners of this organisation, we are excited about collaborating with three other leading school trusts - Star Academies, Harris Federation and Oasis Community Learning. Together, we have selected what is best from our trusts' initial teacher development and built an immersive programme to equip our cohort of future teachers to inspire and develop children across the country.

  • Our academies offer career experience visits to help you decide if teaching is the career for you or to provide additional evidence prior to an application or interview.

    On the visit, you will be assigned a host teacher who you will shadow, allowing you to experience what life in the classroom is really like!

    You will not be asked to teach any lessons and you will not be left alone with students. We ask all participants to adhere to academy dress codes and codes of conduct.
