At KGS we are committed to ensuring that our trainees become the best teacher they can be at KGS and within the teaching profession, while working with very experienced teachers in hugely successful departments.
The KGS teacher training programme offers a salary whilst you are training and funding towards your PGCE course. You will be on a fixed term contract for up to three years which would cover your PGCE year plus up to two further Early Career Teacher (ECT) years to gain Qualified Teacher Status, upon passing each year. In year one you will work towards your PGCE with Buckingham University and in years two and three you will complete your Early Career Teacher (ECT) years while having the support of an experienced mentor.
There is also an opportunity to be involved in the co-curricular life of the school relevant to your area/s of interest (Duke of Edinburgh, Contemporary Music Club, Junior Science Club, The Faraday Society). Staff are remunerated through the Kingston Grammar School scale which tracks significantly above the national scale for teachers.
