As a teacher training school, RGS Guildford provides a supportive and enriching environment for aspiring teachers, whether fresh from university or changing career, to gain the skills, experience, and qualifications required to begin a successful teaching career.
At RGS Guildford, there’s more than one way to begin your journey into teaching. Every trainee, whatever their route, benefits from the support of dedicated mentors and expert subject specialists who guide and challenge them to become exceptional teacher.
Many of our trainees follow the SCITT PGCE pathway, spending the full year immersed in school life while training with our partner one day a week. We work closely with South Farnham SCITT, an Ofsted Outstanding provider of school-based teacher training. For Primary and all Secondary subjects. Others start by taking responsibility for their own classes from day one, gaining valuable classroom experience before progressing to the assessment-only route to achieve qualified teacher status.
