Edge Hill offers constant support for students no matter what the problem is, which is something I found very helpful in my first year.

I’ve been fortunate enough to complete my final year placement in a school in Cumbria – learning first-hand how rural schools operate and teach differently to city schools.

The GTA scholarship enabled me to continue doing what I love most: teaching. I was able to put my research into practice, while supporting students become teachers. This is a great feeling and a rewarding experience.
