Leicestershire Secondary SCITT

"It is a pleasure to work as part of the leadership team of the Leicestershire Secondary SCITT. A proactive, research-informed teacher training institution that is proud of the offer it provides for trainees, in conjunction with experienced colleagues in a range of partner schools. The SCITT exhibits genuine moral purpose, consideration of workload and well-being and a desire to produce teachers who work 'smart', not just 'hard', for the benefit of the young people in our schools. Colleagues in Partner Schools are also provided with professional learning opportunities so that they too can grow. Ultimately the SCITT is proud of the trainees we support, many of whom go on to work in local schools, if you'd like to be a part of this, then come and join us."

"What an incredible journey. I have studied English at the University of Leicester. I went on to study an MA in religion, politics and society at the University of Birmingham. The SCITT teacher training programme was worth every penny and more! The amount of value with your own personal and professional development is incredible. I couldn't recommend training with the SCITT highly enough. Schools within Leicestershire and the wider country are aware of the calibre of teachers which are made at this training facility. If you want to be a research informed reflective practitioner, and sought after by many schools then look no further. :) For further information feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @EnglishMrSingh"

"Supportive, thorough, research based approach to teacher training. An excellent team, with great placement schools that will give you the grounding you need to start your teaching career."

"If you're considering going into teaching, I can't recommend Leicestershire Secondary SCITT enough. I'm currently a trainee with them and they've made this year an inspiring and enjoyable experience. They have a great team that are approachable, knowledgeable and place our wellbeing first. Thank you!"

"Now I have a vested interested as I work there, but we genuinely care about our trainees' experiences. Once part of the SCITT family you stay part of the SCITT family. We invest in our Teacher Educators (mentors) and partner schools, so that everyone gets the best experience and we all achieve the ultimate aim - giving children the best start to life."
