Train to Teach

School Direct training with the Hursthead Junior School Alliance enables you to train to become a Primary School Teacher in a variety of local schools, as well as receive academic and University support at The University of Manchester, who will validate the School Direct course with a PGCE qualification and QTS.

We are a close-knit alliance of primary schools in the South Manchester area, who individually have substantial experience of working with trainees and a strong track record of producing high quality teachers. Whilst each school has its own unique ethos, we all share a passion for developing teachers who are committed to delivering creative and fun learning opportunities. Successful applicants will become part of a family, which offers mentoring from highly experienced practitioners across the full range of primary phases.
