Train to teach with us on the Fylde Coast or in Liverpool. You can use the
buttons below to view/download our information leaflet and submit your
application via the Government Apply Service which is now Open! Firstly, our
programmes are completely personalised to each candidate; no two people have the
same experience because we only train between 20 and 30 trainees each year.
Unlike the big university models where you would be one of 200 trainee teachers,
we tailor the year to maximise your skills and you will therefore be better
prepared to teach. We have our own supportive SCITT community, our own wellbeing
programme and our own life coach. Secondly, because our trainees don’t have to
attend University lectures, we have time to give them a bespoke enhancement
programme running alongside the mainstream school placements. Our secondary
trainees have the opportunity to teach in primary schools, pupil referral units,
Special Educational Needs settings, work with CAHMS and teach in Sixth Forms.
They also spend time at our local private schools to teach children with English
as an additional language. Again, trainee curriculum design is tailored to
maximise preparation. Thirdly, our programmes are competitively priced because
we know graduates are already carrying huge university debts. We charge £7705
for QTS, as opposed to £9000, but we also give a free qualification for
secondary trainees in addition to QTS so they leave as qualified Teachers of the
PSHE Association [Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education]. This gives
them an edge over other candidates when applying for jobs, and fully prepares
them for teaching beyond the curriculum and preparing their pupils for life in
modern Britain.
