Our Training Programmes
Our accredited school-based Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses enable our trainees to work towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with the additional option of pursuing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). We deliver an innovative training programme in partnership with Tes Institute, and combined with the support of our internal expertise, trainees develop comprehensive subject knowledge and professional skills while gaining practical teaching experience as an integral member of the school team. Our programmes have excellent retention rates with most of our trainee teachers going on to secure permanent teaching positions in our schools.
