All Student teacher placements are allocated via the national Student Placement System (SPS) that is hosted and maintained by GTC Scotland. Student teachers are not permitted to arrange their own placements independently. Placements in Scotland are matched via SPS using an automated process. Schools, Local Authorities and universities work together to complete this process successfully. More information about SPS and the allocations processMoray House School of Education and Sport has established partnerships with Local Authorities across Scotland. For the year-long placement in the penultimate year of the programme, students will be placed in one Gaelic-medium school for an entire academic year with the opportunity to become authentic members of the school community.Once notified of their allocated school, students will be expected to be responsible for organising suitable living arrangements that will allow them to commute to their allocated school throughout the year. Unless exceptional circumstances apply, students may be placed in any Gaelic-medium school in Scotland.Place2Be partnership HTML Image Teachers today are faced with a range of mental health needs in the classroom, and yet traditionally they receive very little training in this area, or support to cope with the emotional impact that the role may have on them.
