LiFe MAT & Partners

LiFE MAT and Partners  is a very successful group of schools who have been delivering Initial Teacher Training for many years. Working with highly supportive and professional mentors across key stages 3-5, they offer a range of experiences where you will be able to develop your potential as a teacher. 

At Teach for LiFE we offer a school-led initial teacher training (ITT) scheme, run by a partnership between a lead school, other schools and our accredited teacher training providers . A postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) with qualified teacher status (QTS) will allow you to teach in state schools in England and may allow you to teach in other parts of the UK.

We are fortunate to be working with three partnerships, to offer multiple courses.
