The head teachers and Course Managers running the SCITT ` have created a culture where high standards and a passion for improving outcomes for pupils permeate every aspect of the course.’ (OFSTED 2016). SCITT trainees come from very diverse backgrounds, with very different levels of school and life experience prior to starting the course, but everyone is welcomed into the SCITT community and supported by leading, expert practitioners, to develop their full potential as learners and teachers.

The SCITT offers the following primary PGCE programmes:

• Early Primary PGCE (3-7yrs)
