Success at Teacher Recruitment Fair 20.01.18

Over 130 people looking for a career in teaching attended our recruitment event at Portsmouth College on Saturday 20 January 2018. The event featured many of the schools, academy groups and colleges from across the city that are looking to recruit, as well as teacher training organisations and agencies that can help anyone wanting to start or return to a career in teaching.

Cllr Hannah Hockaday, Cabinet Member for Education at Portsmouth City Council said: “It was wonderful to see so many people at the event who are interested in teaching in Portsmouth.  The shortage of teachers is a continuing challenge and the rise in pupil numbers means that we need more teachers than ever.  Portsmouth is a fantastic place to teach, with inspiring school leaders, lots of opportunity for training and development, and a chance to really open up opportunities for children and young people in a city which has a great future.”

The next Teacher Recruitment Fair will take place in June.
