Interested in teaching? A School Experience Day gives you the chance to see what working in a school is like.

A school experience day with ATTI offers a warm, structured and insightful introduction to life as a trainee teacher. You will receive a short introduction from the Institute team where you’ll explore the benefits of training to teach with ATTI, gaining a clear sense of the support, development and opportunities available.

A guided tour of the school will give you the chance to see the environment, meet staff and observe a school culture in action. You’ll have the opportunity to meet key people who can speak directly about the trainee experience first hand, including meeting some of our current trainees who will share what their day-to-day life in school is really like. You’ll then spend time in lessons, observing expert teaching and getting a feel for what it’s like to be in a classroom.

A Q&A session gives you the opportunity to get answers to all your questions, and we’ll provide further guidance to support you in your next stages of your application journey.
