Bluecoat SCITT Alliance Nottingham is working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University to provide high quality initial teacher training. All trainees who successfully complete the School Direct programme with us will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status and gain a PGCE with 60 credits at Masters Level. The University has a long history of Initial Teacher Education and we have worked together closely to develop a programme based on experience, excellent Quality Assurance and a commitment to a high level of support for trainees.
OUR STRENGTHS
“Trainees are very positive about their experience of training to teach with this provider.
They benefit from a programme that is well thought through. Trainees learn the ‘fundamentals’, using up-to-date thinking about how pupils learn. Opportunities to ‘dive deeper’ and ‘go beyond’ help trainees to develop and apply their practice.
Primary trainees are well prepared to teach the full range of national curriculum subjects, including early reading and phonics. Expert leaders develop secondary trainees’ specialist subject and pedagogical knowledge. Trainees frequently reflect on how they can improve their practice.”
Preparation for lifelong learning and skills, lie at the heart of our educational vision.
