Train to teach with us
Merton Park Primary School is part of the Teach Wimbledon alliance, a unique school direct partnership of primary and secondary schools in the London Borough of Merton. The alliance works alongside Roehampton University for primary training.
Teach Wimbledon delivers high quality provision to train exceptional teachers who are committed to the profession. Collaboration makes us unique.
Together we provide an awe-inspiring, vibrant, and caring environment, in which our trainee teachers are able to thrive.
All schools within the Teach Wimbledon alliance offer outstanding support through the provision of experienced and professional mentors, who are committed to sharing their exemplary teaching knowledge and practice with our trainees.
The programme
As a Lead Partner to the University of Roehampton, Teach Wimbledon offers a school-led route into teaching, which enables graduates to choose the school at which they complete their training year. The majority of our trainees obtain permanent employment at their placement school, or at another school within the Teach Wimbledon alliance.
Teach Wimbledon offers trainees the opportunity to spend most of their time in school from the very beginning, learning directly from experienced professionals. Full-time trainees typically spend four days a week at their placement school, and one day a week at university.
Upon successful completion of the course, trainees are awarded with a PGCE, QTS and 60 credits at master’s level.
