"Service leavers have a wealth of skills and experiences that have been proven to be transferable to the classroom, including leadership, teamwork, resilience and the ability to inspire and engage.
"The programme has already received excellent feedback from headteachers and is providing a unique route for talented service leavers to get into teaching.”
