Teaching in a Hampshire school

We have a strong tradition and commitment to the training and ongoing professional development of teachers

With over 500 schools, ranging from small and rural to larger city ones, it is a thriving place to train and teach. Hampshire offers teachers the opportunity to develop their professional practice within a high performing, diverse and supportive family of schools, under the stewardship of one of the most respected local authorities in the country.

Your teacher journey

You can’t do better than starting your teaching career in Hampshire by undertaking your training locally. Whether through one of our local university providers or through a school-based route, you will get a great introduction to teaching.
As an early career teacher (ECT), it is crucial to transition from training to experienced professional in a supportive environment. Hampshire schools offer a wealth of ECT development opportunities to help you enhance your effectiveness and confidence as you progress from training to becoming a fully-fledged professional.
Collaboration is at the heart of the Hampshire family of schools, supported by strong networks sustained and developed through joint efforts of schools and the authority working together. We offer a vast range of networks and resources to ensure you are not working in isolation.
Hampshire is a thriving place to become a senior leader and we recognise that the roles of senior leaders are evolving, with increased accountability and a significant, complex and diverse workload. As a four star County Council with an Outstanding Children’s Services Directorate, Hampshire provides robust support for both new and experienced school leaders.
