University of Warwick: Victoria
McNaney (MFL)

I can’t say for sure what initially attracted me to teaching. It’s just something I have always seen myself doing. I always enjoyed helping other people and passing on knowledge, particularly trying to teach family and friends the new language that I was learning in school and that has stayed with me into my training.

Bradford College School of Teaching,
Health & Care

See Bradford, see the world!
West Yorkshire has a long tradition of pioneering in education and Bradford College continues that work. The McMillan School of Teaching, Health & Care bears the name of one of those pioneers who was concerned about the total well-being of children - before Every Child Matters was a Government policy! Twenty-first century Bradford has multicultural, multilingual schools and serving these communities requires resourceful, creative teachers who are sensitive to the beliefs and values of the variety of families represented there.

The Role of women officers Today

West Midlands Police shows where the opportunities are for women police today. Equal opportunities are an integral part of West Midlands Police policy. All roles are open to women. There are 2,137 female officers representing 23.75 per cent of the total force strength and 2,573 female police staff. Women officers are encouraged to apply for posts in areas where they are currently under-represented, e.g., the Operational Support Unit and the Firearms Operations Unit, although all departments have female members.

Paving The Way

When Parm Sandhu joined the police, she kept her job a secret from her parents for six months – fearing their disapproval. Now she is the sole female Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan Police.

Becoming A teacher

Teaching is an important and increasingly popular choice of career for all kinds of people.

Whatever your circumstances – if you’re about to graduate, or looking for a change of direction – there are more ways to enter the profession than ever before. See www.tda.gov.uk for full details and opportunities

New to teaching

The first few weeks in any job can be tiring, especially so for new teachers. As well as being in an unfamiliar environment, you’ll also be getting to know your new colleagues and, of course, your students.

Breaking the Stereotypes

Would you like to be part of a profession where you can put your life skills into action everyday? Where you’re part of a close, friendly team? Where the prospects are good for everyone? And where you can make a real difference? Why not start a new life – and save someone else’s.

The Benefits
of Teaching

Working with pupils is very rewarding and each day is different. Teachers use their skills, intelligence and creativity; they make learning exciting and relevant for young people and open their minds to the world around them.
