Professional Body Recognition
In June 2023, Secondary Initial Teacher Training received a "good" rating following a rigorous 4-day inspection. Ofsted noted many strengths in provision, which are noted below.
Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum that goes beyond the DfE’s core content framework and is underpinned by appropriate and pertinent research. Student teachers discuss and debate relevant theory in the centre-based training and are given opportunities to apply their understanding in placement schools.
Trainees’ professional and subject-specific studies are clearly and purposefully interwoven at this partnership. For example, trainees get a secure grounding in generic pedagogy, as well as the subject-specific knowledge that they need to teach their subject well. Tutors and mentors help trainees to understand the connections between what they are learning and how to use and apply this knowledge in placement schools.
The provider has developed a network of strong relationships with partner schools. Communication between the different partners is a strength. Furthermore, all partners display a strong commitment to supporting the ambition of social justice for all pupils. Student teachers understand the importance of breaking down barriers to learning for disadvantaged pupils and for pupils with SEND and also learn about ensuring equality of opportunity for all pupils in their care.
