FAQs
-
A secondary school teacher educates children aged from eleven to nineteen years old. They are responsible for teaching students a variety of subjects through lesson plans, tests, activities and homework.

Anyone wishing to obtain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and teach in state-run secondary schools must have a bachelor's degree in the topic they wish to teach (or one in a very similar discipline). Some degree programmes include QTS, but other graduates will need to complete postgraduate teacher education. You'll also require GSCEs or equivalents in English and Maths at grade 4 (C) or higher, as well as a disclosure and barring services check.

Teachers work for 39 weeks out of the year. Hours vary every school, but they often run from 8.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. or 4 p.m. The majority of teachers arrive at school early in the morning and stay until the end of the school day. Teachers are permitted at least 10% of their scheduled teaching time for planning, preparation, and assessment (PPA).
-
In order to create trust with students, secondary school teachers must have excellent communication abilities. When interacting with teenagers, empathy and compassion are essential, therefore being able to relate to others is a valuable skill. It's also vital to connect learning with pupils' real world interests in order to keep them inspired and motivated.
