Are you a recent Science graduate or final‑year student looking for a fully funded, school‑based pathway into teaching?
A prestigious secondary school in Chelsea is seeking motivated graduates to join its Graduate Science Teacher Training programme from September 2026. This salaried route allows you to train in a real classroom, gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and receive expert mentoring—without the financial strain of a traditional PGCE.

* Receive structured, hands‑on support from experienced mentors.
* Take part in weekly professional development sessions focused on pedagogy and classroom management.
* Support practical experiments and lab‑based learning activities.
* Gradually take on full teaching responsibilities, preparing you to achieve QTS within one academic year.
What’s on Offer
* Fully salaried teacher training with no tuition fees.
* QTS awarded after one year, with optional PGCE at no cost.
* School‑based, practical training rather than theory‑heavy assessment.
* Access to a supportive network of graduate trainees across London.
* Progressive teaching responsibilities to build confidence and expertise.
Ideal Candidate
* 2:1 or First‑Class degree in a Science subject (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or equivalent).
* GCSE Maths and English at grade 4/C or above.
* Passionate about inspiring young people in Science.
* Professional, resilient, and eager to develop a teaching career in London.
* Right to work in the UK.
