KPI Education is recruiting an Art Graduate Teacher Trainee for an ambitious and inclusive secondary school in Wandsworth. This is a salaried Initial Teacher Training opportunity for a high-achieving graduate who is ready to begin building a long-term career in education.
You will become a permanent member of the school community while completing a structured programme of practical classroom training. You will learn from experienced teachers, develop your teaching practice and work towards achieving Qualified Teacher Status.
What is an ITT role?
ITT stands for Initial Teacher Training . It is the professional training required to become a qualified teacher in England.

During the programme, you will:
- Work towards Qualified Teacher Status
- Learn how to plan and deliver effective Art lessons

- Observe accomplished teachers across the school
- Attend structured professional-development sessions
- Develop effective behaviour-management strategies
- Learn how to assess pupils' work and monitor their progress
- Receive regular lesson observations, feedback and coaching

- Build the knowledge and confidence required to manage your own classes
By the end of the training period, you should be equipped to progress into a qualified teaching position and continue developing your career at the school.
