About this Event
Could teaching be the career for you?
Join the i2i Teaching Partnership for a free Train to Teach Information & Coffee Morning at Reigate School, Reigate on Saturday 7th November at 10.00am and discover how you could begin a rewarding career that changes lives.
Whether you're a recent graduate, considering a career change, already working in a school or simply exploring your options, this relaxed drop-in event is designed to help you understand your route into teaching. Enjoy a coffee, meet our friendly team and receive personalised advice in an informal, no-pressure environment.
At 10.15am, we'll host a short presentation introducing i2i Teaching Partnership, our school-centred teacher training programmes and everything you need to know about training to teach. You're welcome to drop in throughout the morning, but we'd encourage you to arrive before the presentation if possible so you can make the most of your visit.
At i2i, we believe great teachers change lives—and every great teacher starts with the right support.
Choosing where to train can feel overwhelming. With different training routes, providers, funding options and entry requirements to consider, it's not always easy to know where to begin. At i2i, you'll never be just another applicant. From your first enquiry, we'll take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions and guide you through every step of the application process. Whether you need advice on eligibility, qualifications, funding, school experience or simply whether teaching is the right career for you, we're here to help.
During the morning you will have the opportunity to:
- Explore our primary and secondary teacher training programmes.
- Learn about training routes, funding, bursaries and entry requirements.
- Discover how you can train locally through our partnership of schools across Surrey, Hampshire, South West London and the South Coast.
