The Buckingham Partnership

For the past 8 years, we've supported countless teachers in achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through our Assessment Only route. We’re incredibly proud of the impact our programme is having in classrooms across the UK and internationally.

But don’t just take our word for it—hear from our recent candidates about their experience! 💬

Our trainees had a great day out in the London sunshine visiting the Houses of Parliament learning about the education programmes offered and how they could use the resources with their students.

What’s Your Why?

Everyone has a reason for choosing to teach. Whether it’s to inspire the next generation, make a difference in young lives, or share a passion for learning—what’s your why?

At the Buckingham Partnership, we’re looking for passionate individuals ready to take the leap into teaching. Every year we start by asking our trainee teachers 'what's your why?' Here are some of our favourites from the last few years.

If you’ve ever thought about teaching, now’s the time to discover your why.

Drop your reason in the comments or DM us to learn more about our training programme!
