Take a look at three inspirational stories from teachers in Portsmouth.
Portsmouth is a teaching city
Educational partners work together, through the Portsmouth Education Partnership (PEP), to create a city with ambition. There is an aspirational education agenda which ensures that Portsmouth is a great place for teachers and pupils alike.
We know that teachers can choose where they want to teach. We would encourage you to explore the many lifestyle advantages and benefits in our great waterfront city.
The benefits include cheaper housing, good transport links, discounted parking permits, other financial incentives and discounts, lifestyle choices and opportunities (including social sports, shopping and high profile events and festivals).
Equally importantly, Portsmouth is focussed on addressing teacher workload/work life balance, offering continuing professional development and ensuring that there are opportunities for flexible working and career progression. Portsmouth is a progressive and interesting place to teach and attracts teachers from a variety of backgrounds following a range of pathways. Whether you are at the start of a teaching career, an experienced teacher, returning to teaching or seeking a career change.
