School Direct Route (Tuition Fee)
As a school direct trainee you have an opportunity to be more specific about where you would like to train and potentially work as a newly qualified teacher.
As a school direct trainee you are able to select a lead school where you will spend the majority of the year working within that school and their locally based cluster schools.
Although your training is based in a school, they’re not your employers, and your training will be the same as a provider led place. You’ll pay fees, but you might be eligible for funding through tuition fee loans or training bursaries.
The school direct lead schools are:
| Durham Teaching School Alliance at Prince Bishops Community Primary School | Federation of Abbey Schools | Swaledale Teaching School Alliance at Richmond Methodist Primary School |
| Gibson Street Coundon Grange Bishop Auckland DL14 8DY | Abbey Road Darlington DL3 8NN | Darlington Road Richmond DL10 7BH |
