School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT)
We are delighted to partner with Teach First to deliver our SCITT programme. Teach First is a national charity that develops and supports teachers and leaders who are determined to make a difference where it is needed the most.
The way in which our partnership with Teach First operates in order to deliver SCITT is outlined in our SCITT information booklet.
This programme is a one-year teacher-training course, which enables you to train and develop your skills in the classroom. It is ideal for people who are eager to learn on the job and make a difference in their community from day one. As a trainee, you will be interacting every day with pupils and working as a member of teaching staff in a school local to you.
The programme is research-led, and is designed to give you plenty of practical experience as well as subject-specific training and a deep understanding of effective teaching methods. You will be in the classroom from September 2024 and will benefit from the support of a trained mentor throughout your training. At the end of our programme, you will be awarded qualified teacher status (QTS) and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply you will need:
- An undergraduate degree or equivalent.

We will not consider candidates with pending GCSEs. Functional skills qualifications are not equivalent to maths and English GCSEs. Most equivalency test providers are accepted.

Fees and financial support
