Public school partnerships are characterised by structured management and development frameworks aimed at improving teaching quality and learner performance. Despite these structures, limited empirical research exists on how novice teachers experience and navigate these school environments, particularly in relation to professional development, autonomy, and institutional expectations. The purpose of the study was to explore how novice teachers experience and make sense of professional growth and constraint within PSP schools. The study was situated within an interpretive research paradigm and employed a qualitative research approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected novice teachers working in PSP schools. Participants were selected based on specific criteria, including teaching experience and involvement within the PSP context. The data were analysed thematically and interpreted using Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus and capital, alongside Edgar Schein’s theory of organisational culture, to develop a nuanced understanding of participants’ experiences. The findings indicate that novice teachers experience an ongoing tension between professional development and institutional constraint. While structured frameworks such as Teach Like A Champion (TLAC) and Get Better Faster (GBF) are perceived as supportive of professional growth, teachers’ professional autonomy is often constrained by experiences of pressure, monitoring and control. These structures influence novice teachers’ professional identity and sense of agency within the school environment. Nevertheless, the findings reveal that novice teachers demonstrate adaptability and resilience, developing strategies to foster professional growth and meaningful practice within existing institutional structures. Despite the limited sample size, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of novice teachers’ experiences within public school partnerships. The findings provide insights relevant to school leadership, policy development and professional support practices within the PSP context.
