SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE AND ACADEMIC HISTORY

We support trainees across subjects where there tend to be more initial teacher training positions available. Our team can discuss which subject will be the right choice for you based on your experience, interests and qualifications.

There are shortages of teachers in particular subjects including maths, physics, chemistry, modern foreign languages and computer science. There are often more training options in these subjects, and they also attract a higher government bursary.

Computer Science	Design & Technology	Economics
English	French	Geography
German	History	Latin
Maths	Music	Physics
Religious Education	Spanish

Science teachers will have to teach all sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) up to Year 11.
