Embarking on a career in teaching is an exciting if somewhat daunting prospect.

We really value the work we do with trainee teachers and NQTs and wish to build upon this. Learning outside the classroom is now fully recognised as a vital part of primary and secondary education. With this in mind, we hope to work with you to give you the confidence and support you may need. Our aim is for you to take full advantage of National Trust properties as a wonderful teaching and learning resource.

If you are an NQT or a teacher making a first visit, take a look at the guidance for school visits. This is designed as a broad guide to planning a visit with a school group. Above all, we suggest that you contact the property you wish to visit.
