Thinking of becoming a Primary Teacher?

A new partnership between South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust and the University of Cumbria has been launched to boost recruitment to primary teaching.

Places will be offered for selected applicants who want to train as primary teachers at Chetwynde School in Barrow.

They will study for a one-year University of Cumbria Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) which will also give them Qualified Teacher Status, ratified by University of Warwick, enabling them to pursue a teaching career.

The Initial Teacher Training programme will start at the school on Rating Lane in September 2025 with applications open now. Placements will be across Trust schools and others in the area.
