Pupil Teachers
From 1846 certain schools, as long as they received a good report from one of Her Majesty's Inspectors, could train pupil teachers. The training, which included teaching a class and being taught themselves each day, lasted for five years and usually from the age of thirteen. Head teachers gave the instruction to the pupil teachers. The Pupil Teacher, John Rumfitt, as well as teaching all day had instruction from the Master from 6.30 a.m. to 8.00 a.m. in the Summer Months, and 7.00 a.m. to 8.00 a.m. in the Winter Months (Form IX.B. Managers Return, January, 1882).
"Where a female pupil teacher has, with the approval of the Managers, received instructions out of school hours from the Master, the following Certificate must also be signed:- The instruction of the female Pupil Teachers out of school hours by Mr. Albert Rainford has always been given in my presence.
Signed: Mabel Hulse (aged 25 years)"
(From Managers Return, January, 1899)
When the pupil teachers had finished their five years training in a school they could enter for the Queen's Scholarship Examination. Those who were successful entered training college for three years although few stayed for the full training.

Monitors
Monitors were pupils taken from the top classes who received the lesson they had to teach from the master and then the monitors taught the other pupils. There were Monitors when the school was managed by the Trustees and with the formation of the Board school two paid monitors were appointed. In 1875 the monitors would receive at Tetney Board School, £6 per annum (School Board Cash Book 1873 to 1879). The last mention of monitors in the Cash Books is 1875. The monitors were to be given the title pupil teachers.
Miss Nowell still absent. The infants are taught by monitors (January, 1866).
55 children present, not an easy matter to keep so many in order without a Pupil Teacher, but the funds will not allow any assistance at present (March, 1868).
Extract from H. M. Inspector's Report in February 1877 - W. R. Hewson and M. Mumby (Pupil Teachers) have passed fairly under article 19(e); but W. R. Hewson should pay more
attention to Grammar and M. Mumby to History.
