Did you know King Alfred's offers School Experience visits for anyone considering teaching as a career? Its a great way to get a taste for working in a secondary school before applying for initial teacher training. Please see the feedback below from a recent School Experience visitor: "I had an amazing time at KA's last Tuesday. I was very impressed by my placement organisation and all the information you sent me before my visit. The year range was just perfect; I caught a glimpse of what my likely day-to-day would look like, how the lessons were taught, and how the students engaged. During the breaks, when I went to the faculty room, I felt very welcome, and my perception was that the faculty itself was a community, as shown by the way they spoke to each other, the pictures on the wall, and their overall disposition. I had some time to speak with Dr. Kirton about his experience as a teacher, which was enlightening. I classify my experience at KA as very positive, and it just confirmed my choice of pursuing secondary teaching."
