Recruitment of high quality teaching staff presents a significant challenge for schools in Hampshire, as it does nationally. Our new subject knowledge enhancement course is for non-specialists, across all core and EBacc subjects, as well as RE.  

This training will: 

• Support those recently in post, as well as provide preparation support for those who may be taking up a new post in September 2024. 
• Equip teachers with the knowledge and skills required to effectively deliver high quality lessons in the chosen subject. 
• Focus on Key Stage 3 teaching principally, whilst offering the requisite level of skill and knowledge to facilitate further development towards the teaching of Key Stage 4 over time. 

Participants will need some prior knowledge of the chosen subject. 

Dates:

Session 1 – 23 April 2024
Session 2 – 21 May 2024
Session 3 – 3 July 2024
Session 4 – 12 September 2024
