• All students will benefit from experience of working with the wider SSP team.
• The first year of an apprenticeship will last between 13-14 months and on successful completion, there will be the opportunity to apply to progress onto an advanced course in the second year.
• Apprentices will be paid directly by the primary school employer for 30 hours per week at the rate of £5.28 per hour ( in line with government guidance)
