Our Journey with ESF Apprenticeships:

“We have been working with ESF Apprenticeships for around 13 years now, employing sports apprentices throughout this time. Their ability to find staff that we feel would be a good fit for our school is wonderful, and we have been expertly supported throughout the recruitment process every time. If we ever don’t have a candidate in mind, ESF knows what we are looking for and are always able to help select the right person for our setting.

The training and support our apprentices receive is excellent and the administrative support is equally as good, making the entire journey through the programme smooth. Several of our apprentices, having successfully completed their Level 3, have now gone on to complete their Level 4 with us, demonstrating their aptitude for teaching; a career they are now enjoying.

When dealing with the challenges of staffing, especially when considering targeted support for pupils with additional needs, two of my current apprentices have also been named as 1:1 support for those pupils, building up their understanding of whole class support as well as the delivery of PE.

I can’t recommend ESF Apprenticeships highly enough and have already got my next plans with them in mind!”
