“I believe that being part of the TPFN programme improved my chances of being offered a role in school. I took my printed TPFN binder with me to the interview and it gave me something to show and talk about, demonstrating initiative and a willingness to develop myself beyond the PGCE course. It also gave me something extra that I could bring to the school and champion.”
