Gaining school experience at King James´s School

King James´s School, has experience in all departments of hosting visitors who are considering teaching as a career. On a visit day, school experience visitors receive a brief induction to the school & the White Rose Alliance, followed by the opportunity to observe lessons, meet staff & current trainees informally (dependent on staff/trainee timetables & availability). Our departments always extend a warm welcome to visitors & staff are generous in sharing their knowledge & experience.

As King James´s School is the lead school for the White Rose Alliance, visits are restricted to those who are potentially considering applying to White Rose Alliance for training & fulfil the following criteria. Applicants for experience visits:

• must not already have accepted a place for teacher training with another provider
• must be interested in training to teach a subject in which the White Rose Alliance runs a course (where places are still available) & have appropriate qualifications 
• should have an Honours degree (2:2 or above or equivalents) or be studying for an Honours degree, either in the subject they are considering applying to train to teach in, or it must have significant elements of the subject they are applying to train to teach in
• must have GCSE Maths & English Grades A*-C or equivalents
• if visiting Languages, should have qualifications in French &/or German

During 2019/20 King James´s School will be offering initial one day experience visits on Wednesdays & Thursdays from October to May whenever operationally possible (depending on department timetables, school events, other visits, etc). 

Please note that we will not be able to arrange experience visits for subjects where the White Rose Alliance course is full & has been closed. Whilst experience visits are usually within the department of the applicants´ first subject choice, on occasions due to operational reasons (ie. department timetables, staff availability, school events, etc), it may be necessary for us to arrange for visitors to observe one or more lessons in a different department.

Enquiries for visits can made through the School Experience Programme which you can access once you have registered on the Get into Teaching website. 

For further information about school experience visits at King James´s School, please email schooldirect@king-james.n-yorks.sch.uk.
