Why train at North East SCITT?
100% of our trainees would recommend us, and considering we take on over 90 primary and secondary trainees a year, that’s something to be proud of! Not only that, but 97% of our trainees were rated good or outstanding, and 95% secured a teaching position in the North East after completing our course.
SCITT training starts in school from day one, meaning you are exposed to outstanding teachers (and excitable children!) from the outset. Being constantly absorbed in a school environment means you can start building up the skills you need to become an incredible teacher before your placements start. But don’t worry, we ensure you have a perfect balance between study and hands-on experience and we will not put you into a teaching environment before you are ready.
We have a team of dedicated mentors, subject experts, pastoral support, and administrators to make your journey with us as smooth as possible. We support you every step of the way, right through from your application to us to your application for your first teaching role, so please give us a call if you have any questions!
How do I apply?
We take applications throughout the year via ‘Apply for teacher training’ at gov.uk. Our cohorts start in September, and last for 10 months. Courses can be funded in the same way as a university degree, and there are bursaries available for certain subjects.
