DfE Apply opens in October and allows applicants to choose up to 3 training programmes at a time. Of course we hope that it is us!Ĭan we remind you that early application is desirable. You will then have some time to make your choice as to which provider you feel best suits you.

We will let you know whether or not we are in a position to offer you a place very promptly following your interview day. Our partner schools are all within easy traveling distance and you will be given the information about where the interviewing school is well in advance of the interview day to enable you to plan your journey. If you are successful, we will then invite you for an interview day, the morning will be hosted on Zoom and the afternoon will be held in one of our partnership schools.

We recommend that you read and consider our ‘what are we looking for’ tab. Once we receive your application, we will read and review it carefully to assure ourselves that you meet our entry requirements (have a look at the information on the Entry conditions page) and that your personal statement illustrates that you share our passion and commitment to the transformative power of primary education. You need only submit one application to us so if you are electing for the Flexible or SEND routes please select KNSTE: for all other specialisms there is no difference between KNSTE and GTTSH in terms of the programme.

This includes the Golden Thread Teaching School Hub (GTTSH) ( ). KNSTE is the provider that acts on behalf of a large partnership of schools across Stoke-on- Trent and Staffordshire.
