Teacher Training

There are many routes into teaching for suitably qualified, enthusiastic, and committed individuals.

The Bucks Hub partnership is increasing in popularity as people choose to be based in schools to do their teacher training. As a trainee teacher, you are immersed in the school environment from the first day of term, but your teaching load starts very gently, and you are supported and coached by experienced colleagues around you.

Salaried and unsalaried placements will be available at The Chalfonts Community College, as well as other secondary and primary schools.  

Places will be offered in a range of subjects including: Art & Design, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Classics, Computer Science, Design & Technology, Economics, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Physical Education, Psychology, Religious Studies, Physics and Primary General (which is available both in a mainstream and special school setting).

We are delighted to work with The Bucks Hub Partnership (The Bucks Hub) in offering school-based Initial Teacher Training at The Chalfonts Community College. The Bucks Hub has many years of successful teacher training experience and offers trainees an excellent school-based route to qualification through their uniquely tailored teacher training programme across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. 

The partnership has considerable experience in training teachers and recognises and values the enthusiastic contribution that they make to our school communities.  Staff at the training schools will share their knowledge and good practices to ensure that trainees are well-supported to develop into good and outstanding teachers.

The programme is structured to allow trainees to develop the skills required to teach the subject that they are training in and to develop specific expertise for making a distinctive contribution to practice in their setting. 

Our Partners

The Chalfonts Community College is a lead school, working with a number of partner schools. We also have very strong links with most Universities and happily take on trainee placements through the PGCE route. Brunel, Roehampton, Middlesex, University of East London, Reading, Herts University, Bucks New University, and Oxford Brooks are just some of the universities we have worked closely with over the years.

Applications must come through the ITT Bucks Hub.

Our partners are:

All of our schools have a successful history of teacher training and provide excellent mentor support. All of the schools also run well-established ECT induction programmes, which take you through the first two years of your teaching.

We have a very strong extended partnership through the Bucks Hub lead teaching school, which means that we have links with a much wider network of schools reaching into Hertfordshire. These links mean that we can provide a contrasting placement as your second school experience, and we also are able to inform you of job opportunities when that time comes.
