Welcome to Teacher Training with Bluecoat SCITT Alliance

YOUR TEACHING CAREER BEGINS HERE!

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.

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

OUR TRAINEE ALUMNI

Hilary, English Trainee: “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”

Catherine, Maths Trainee: “The highlight of the year was the Friday SCITT sessions. Seeing other trainee teachers and letting off steam was a lovely way to end the week  and learning new skills with the people that were learning to be teachers too!”
