TEACHER TASTER DAYS

Throughout the year we run Teacher Taster Days for those people who are thinking about becoming a teacher and would like to learn more about the course and profession.

During the day, you will have the opportunity to meet the SCITT team, a current trainee, a newly qualified teacher and to observe a lesson in one of our partnership schools.

There will also be sessions on course structure, student finance and bursaries.  Please contact the office if you would like to attend.


APPLICATION GUIDANCE

Applications for teacher training opened in October and we will continue interviewing until June or until our courses are full.

In order to make an application, you will need to write a personal statement and supply two references. Please use the following links to help you with these:
