Why teach <%= @front_matter["subject"] %>
-
Becoming a secondary school teacher is an excellent career choice if you want to have a positive impact on young people's lives. Through creating engaging lessons, you can inspire pupils to develop a lifelong love of learning. Beyond the classroom, you'll also play a crucial role in building pupils' confidence and supporting their personal growth.
+
Becoming a secondary school teacher is a great career choice if you want to make a difference in young people's lives. As students progress through school, you will directly influence their future prospects through the grades you help them achieve and the values you share with them.
+
As a specialist, you'll inspire students to develop a passion for your subject. You'll give them the skills and knowledge needed to tackle increasingly complex content and motivate some of them to pursue your subject beyond school.

- Who you'll teach
- Age groups you could teach
- Children start secondary school in England when they’re 11. There are up to 3 stages in secondary school:
-
- - key stage 3 (KS3) includes years 7 to 9, with children aged 11 to 14
- - key stage 4 (KS4) includes years 10 and 11, with pupils aged 14 to 16
- - key stage 5 (KS5) includes years 12 and 13, with students aged 16 to 18 at secondary schools with sixth forms, or colleges

+ In ks3, pupils will be taught a range of compulsary subjects including:
+
+ - English
+ - maths
+ - science
+ - history
+ - geography
+ - modern foreign languages
+ - design and technology
+ - art and design
+ - music
+ - physical education
+ - religious education

+ Key stage 4 (ks4)
+ Key stage 4 (KS4) includes years 10 and 11, with pupils aged 14 to 16.
+ During ks4, most pupils work towards GCSEs or another national qualification. There are some subjects that are compulsary and some which pupils can choose to study.
+ Compulsary subjects in ks4 include:
+
+ - English
+ - maths
+ - science
+ - computing
+ - physical education
+ - religious education
+ - citizenship
+
+ Pupils can then choose from a range of subjects offered by the school. Schools must offer at least one subject from these areas:

+ - humanties
+ - modern foreign languages

+ At ks5, when taught in secondary school, pupils will mostly be working towards A level qualifications or an equivilant.
+ There are no compulsary subjects at ks5 but schools usually offer to teach the subjects they offer at ks4.
+ If you're interested in teaching young people and adults over 16 who are not studying for a degree, then teaching in further education might be for you.

+
+## A day in the life of a teacher
+
+#### 7:30am Arrive at school

-A day in the life of a teacher is really varied, and no two days will be the same. Your day as a teacher will look different depending on whether you teach primary, secondary, or what subject you teach. Each school will have its own schedule and different responsibilities outside of teaching hours.
+Sometimes in the morning, there will also be a staff meeting to ensure that everyone is up to date with school messages, important announcements, and any changes to the day's schedule.
-Aside from classroom time, teaching is quite flexible. You can choose when you do your marking, planning, and admin. Teachers also get more holidays than other professions. Full-time teachers work for 195 days per year in school.
+#### 8:45am pupils arrive
-----
+At around 9:00am pupils will start school. Depending on your role, you may be in charge of a form group or registering children. In this time pupils usually get on with morning activities, such as spelling or maths activities. It is also a chance to catch up with pupils individually and ensure their wellbeing and create a shared sense of identity as a group.
-#### 7:45 - Arrive at school
-Many teachers like to get to school around this time or before. They prepare for the day, get any equipment they need, and make sure everything’s ready for classes to start.

+The structure of the school day will depend on the school but often there are 2 lessons taught in the morning followed by a break. In total there are often 5 hour lessons in the day. Depending on your school you could teach around 30 pupils of mixed abilities.

Becoming a secondary school teacher is a great career choice if you want to make a difference in young people's lives. As students progress through school, you will directly influence their future prospects through the grades you help them achieve and the values you share with them.
As a specialist, you'll inspire students to develop a passion for your subject. You'll give them the skills and knowledge needed to tackle increasingly complex content and maybe even motivate them to pursue your subject beyond school.
