We know that you want to be the best teacher you can be – to inspire the next generation, to improve outcomes for young people and to make a difference.
Teaching is one of the most rewarding careers you can have but it is also demanding. Through a supportive partnership of experienced professionals, collaboration with peers from all different backgrounds, and an opportunity to learn in a classroom environment right from day one, you will qualify with your PGCE, grow in confidence and become the teacher you’ve always wanted to be.
Our Primary SCITT courses embed a blend of practice, pedagogy and reflection to ensure you have the highest quality training year.
Our Secondary SCITT courses develop outstanding subject knowledge and teaching and learning approaches.
Across our Partnerships, we have a network of over 200 Primary, Secondary and SEND schools across the East Midlands.
Hear from our past trainees about why they chose Inspiring Leaders Teacher Training and decided on a school-centred route to teaching.
We have created a really helpful brochure which gives you all the information you need to know about our programmes.
School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) focuses on the idea of learning through experience. Course providers work alongside a network of local schools to deliver training. They offer placements for trainees to help them achieve qualified teacher status (QTS).
A SCITT course puts teaching experience at the heart of the course. From day one, you are immersed in the classroom, where you get to learn on the job. Very quickly you will learn behaviour management and understand your presence in the classroom and the areas you need to develop to be the best teacher that you can be.
School experience is important but understanding how children learn underpins everything you do in the classroom. During your SCITT course you will receive central training and you will work towards your PGCE with either Leicester University (if you are based in Leicester/Leicestershire) or Nottingham Trent University (if you are based in Nottingham/Nottinghamshire or Derby/Derbyshire).
Are you looking to train to teach? Hear from our SCITT Programme Director, a Headteacher, our Primary and Secondary Teacher Training Leads, as well as our Partnership Manager, as they talk about all things teacher training – benefits of SCITT, teacher career pathways, teacher characteristics, the experiences and opportunities you will have access to and much more!
