From September 2024: Full time route - We offer a one-year, 5 day a week, full-time course, teaching across the 5-11 age range with recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with PGCE upon successful completion.
Throughout the 38 weeks of school-based learning, trainees gain practical teaching experience across two age phases with schools who are part of our ITT partnership. Our one-school training approach also gives you the opportunity to build relationships with teachers, staff, and the wider school community.
Trainees work alongside and are supported by class mentors, who challenge them to become highly effective, fully qualified teachers.
For applicants who are interested in teaching in early years as a reception or nursery teacher or in SEND special schools, we can provide a more tailored experience to enrich your training in these areas - please make this intent clear in your personal statement.
