For exceptional trainees we can guarantee a NQT position in one of our Dixons schools for 2019-20. Only for EBacc subjects English, Maths, Science, History,Geography, MFL and Primary.
We are looking for excellent graduates who have enthusiasm, commitment and can offer inspiration to young people, and who will work well in a successful environment as part of a team of highly professional staff.
School led teacher training was ideal for me as I wanted to be part of a school from the very first day. Receiving support from experienced staff, working within a well-established school whilst also having training was a great introduction to my teaching career. The tutors from school and university complemented each other well and meant that we had a great range of practical examples and advice to draw on.
Having placements in two different Dixons schools whilst continuing with professional study sessions equipped me with the best possible start for my teaching career. The coaching I received developed my confidence, my presence in the classroom improved and I was able to develop positive relationships with all my students. Training with Dixons also supported me to secure a job within the Group of schools relatively early which meant that I could focus on my training.
Now that I am an NQT, working for an outstanding school, I realise I am really well prepared to take on the challenges that teaching brings. I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to begin my career with Dixons and can see exciting opportunities to develop my career further in the future. I would recommend the training to teach with Dixons to anyone looking to start their career in teaching.
