Employ an Apprentice
We offer bespoke apprenticeship training tailored to your school’s needs, ensuring apprentices develop the skills and confidence to succeed, while providing excellent value for money and creating meaningful pathways for young people into careers in education.
Apprentices can support structured play at break and lunchtime, assist with extra-curricular activities and sports fixtures, and contribute to pastoral, classroom and behaviour support. Their enthusiasm helps create a vibrant, inclusive school environment.
Apprentices trained since 2017
“inspire+’s support throughout has been incredible. Clear communication and a quality pathway for our apprentice to make progress. The impact our apprentice has had on lives in our school is the biggest measure of success, without a shadow of a doubt.”

With over £3.3 billion of unspent apprenticeship levy funds returned to the treasury, use it before you lose it!
Your school may already be contributing to the apprenticeship levy, but if it’s not being used, that funding is simply returned to the Treasury. Instead, it could be invested in recruiting and developing enthusiastic, high-quality support staff. Discover how apprenticeship funding works and how your school can make the levy work for you.
