Why not look at Schools Direct or Teach First or whatever they are called now? You could train in a school and get QT status while you work.

You might get something in an Academy school. You won’t get a job in a maintained school.

I agree with doing something like Teach First, where for some subjects you get paid while training.

Not trying to be a twat here, but spelling is probably quite important?
