I then went on to travel and work as a teacher of English in Thailand and South Korea. I really enjoyed the teaching but missed the science, so I decided to return to my specialism through teacher training at the University of Hertfordshire. Sandringham was one of my training placements and I really enjoyed it here. The faculty is really supportive and I loved teaching here during the placement, so I applied for a teaching role as soon as it became available. I am now in my third year having completed the ECT process and I am really enjoying taking on new challenges this year, such as A level teaching, where I can really use my subject expertise. I have also loved being part of the wider school, such as participating in residential trips abroad and forming a great relationship with my form group. The school offers excellent CPD opportunities throughout the ECT journey and this support is continuing - I am about to embark on A level CPD through STEM learning. It has been a great place to start my teaching career and develop my experience and expertise." - Sara, Science Teacher If this is something you are looking for in your career, please don't hesitate and we would love to hear from you!
