One of the best ways to find out whether a career in teaching is right for you is to spend some time in a classroom and speak to experienced teachers and school staff. The School Experience Programme (SEP) has been developed to allow you to gain classroom experience in secondary schools.

The SEP has been very successful this year. Due to unprecedented levels of demand, we are no longer able to accept new applications for the programme for this academic year 2011/12. The programme will reopen for eligible applicants in September 2012. Further information on how to apply in September 2012 will be released shortly.
