School Experience Days
There is so much to be gained from going into a school seeing first-hand what is happening and how children are learning and what education looks like these days. Getting some classroom experience can help you to decide whether teaching is right for you – it could also strengthen your application. The Get Into Teaching website has a wealth of useful information, including arranging visits to schools and has more details about entry requirements and funding for your training
We have arranged in person School Experience Days where you have the opportunity to find out about Teacher Training with HISP at your local school.
You can find out what a career in teaching has to offer and to ask any questions you might have about our courses.
In Person
An opportunity to see a typical day in the life of a school. You will be able to observe subject-specific lessons, talk to pupils and speak to staff.
The School’s Professional Tutor will be available during this day to discuss your options and answer any questions you might have:

Volunteering for after-school or summer holiday youth groups is also an excellent way of gaining experience of working with children. Please contact your local school or LEA for more details.
Many of our trainees have also worked in a Learning Support or Cover Supervisor role in order to gain invaluable school experience prior to applying for our Initial Teacher Training programme. Most job vacancies can be found on Hampshire County Council’s Hantsweb site or here for the Isle of Wight.
