This year's eight PGCE trainee teachers have reached the end of Year 1 of their two-year, part-time teacher training programme.

Alongside postgraduate study, they have balanced home life, work commitments, and teaching practice with real dedication. Throughout the year, they have taught across departments, developing their professional skills and making a meaningful contribution to our students’ learning.

We’re proud of the commitment they’ve shown and look forward to supporting them as they continue their training journey. Ashton Sixth Form College Higher and Adult Education
