About Us
Tanbridge Teacher Training has come about through a partnership of highly regarded schools in Sussex and Surrey. Within these schools we have a vast range of experience in leading initial teacher training and in delivering a quality curriculum alongside practical experience in school placements enabling trainees to become confident, established teachers in their own right. We are passionate about the rewards and benefits and job satisfaction to be gained from joining this profession.
Training and recruiting teachers through our programme allows our partnership of schools to "grow their own" and aims to offer successful candidates a long-term career pathway that goes well beyond Initial Teacher Training.
An exciting part of this route is the ability to select the school of your choice and we feel it's important to have the right fit for you and your school. We are very happy to have a conversation with you after we have received your application as to where might suit you best.
If you are considering a career in teaching and are passionate about the skills you have to bring to the profession, we would welcome you to apply to train with us.
Many of our successful trainees go on to gain employment with their host school or another in the partnership following their training year, (subject to the school's recruitment and selection processes.) This creates a great transition for trainees to move forward in familiar surroundings to the next stage of their career as an ECT.
"I always knew I wanted to teach Geography! I can say Tanbridge House was the greatest school for me to start my career in. It was a really supportive and exciting environment, and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be employed as an ECT. It was good to have the consistency of starting my career there and then staying on and I have since been lucky enough to be offered additional roles and responsibilities very quickly in my career."

"Starting my career with Tanbridge gave me an opportunity to work in an environment with supportive, knowledgeable, and experienced staff who enabled me to quickly understand what it is to be a brilliant teacher. Over the past 4 years, Tanbridge has helped to develop my teaching practice and has given me many opportunities to succeed and progress. I am currently Leader of Child Development and look forward to continuing progressing in my teaching career at Tanbridge. "
