Springcroft is part of the Stafford Primary School's Teaching Partnership — a group of primary schools across Stafford and the surrounding area training the next generation of teachers, in partnership with Staffordshire University.

School Direct is school-led teacher training: you're part of a school team from day one, supported by a class mentor and a professional mentor, alongside university-led study. You'll graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a PGCE, and up to 90 Master's-level credits — with placements in two contrasting schools plus visits to others in the partnership.

We recruit with a view to employing successful trainees within our partnership schools once qualified.

Entry requirements

• Minimum 2:2 honours degreed in an appropriate subject
• GCSE Maths and English at Grade C/4 or above
• Good general education and literacy
• Relevant experience in a primary school setting (we can help arrange this)
• A pass in the required skills tests before starting — see sta.education.gov.uk
