Student Associates Scheme

The Student Associates Scheme is an opportunity for current students to experience working in a local school for three weeks as a classroom assistant. You will work with experienced teachers and other school staff to inspire school pupils to achieve their potential.

You are paid a bursary of around £40 per day and get the chance to experience classroom life before deciding whether to study for a postgraduate teaching qualification in a shortage subject area.
