Welcome to Teacher Training with Bluecoat SCITT Alliance

Our school based teacher training prepares you for life as a teacher offering you all the opportunities, training, & support you need to develop a successful career, whether finishing University, or looking to change your career, we are calling for future teachers to train with us.

A teaching career offers, not only a rewarding and valued professional purpose in your contribution to the life-long learning and progress of our young people, but your own personal learning, development and career prospects. There are no limits to what you can achieve, with the confidence, knowledge and skills to do so. Bluecoat SCITT Alliance are here to allow you to be as ambitious and aspirational as you desire.

This is what Hilary, an English Trainee told us about her training year “There hasn’t been a single day in my career so far where I haven’t used or required the knowledge and skills that Bluecoat SCITT provided me with, and were it not for them and the dedication to my career progression I would not be where I am today, in a job I love and feel fulfilled by every single term”

We offer a school direct training route in primary (5-11) and secondary (11-16 in a full range of subjects) QTS with PGCE (worth 60 Masters Credits) which enables us to recruit trainees with the expectation that these teachers will go on to work in one of the Academies within the Trust or partner schools within the Alliance
