Writing your personal statement

A vital part of the application process is the completion of your personal statement. You should spend time on this and ensure the maximum character count of 4000 is used for maximum effect. You should also proof read before sending, and we would always advise asking someone to read it before it is sent. UCAS publish guidance on writing your personal statement, and we will assess your statement on the following factors:

Articulation, grammar, spelling and presentation.

Reflection on your school experience to date. 

Demonstration of a commitment to teaching.

Evidence of your skill base and experiences, and how this relates to a potential for teaching.
