Why choose Poole SCITT?

  • For overall quality of training, Poole SCITT has been rated as 5th out of the top 100 providers in the 2010 NQT survey.
  • For the 2010-11 cohort, 96% of trainees obtained jobs, the majority of these being in the local area.
  • The Poole SCITT course is an excellent and well planned balance of academic theory and practical experience in three different schools in a range of age groups in key stages 1 and 2.
  • Our head teachers value the academic aspects of the course as much as the practical school experience, realising that a balanced combination ensures that reflective and well informed teachers are best equipped for their future career.
  • A strong partnership of 26 schools in the Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset area provides placements in schools committed to teacher training.  
  • Professional tutors work with small groups of trainees throughout their time on the course, ensuring plenty of individual advice and personal support.
  • The small cohort size of 30 trainees offers a more personalised learning approach and a network of a close learning community.
  • Poole SCITT has close links with Kingston University which offers support for resources and validation of the Post Graduate elements of the course including the Masters credits

 

 
 
 
 
“I chose a SCITT course as it offers a close community where you get to know your fellow students and support staff really well. This support from one another is invaluable and kept me going through the year! Poole SCITT (quite rightly) has an excellent reputation and I am delighted to be a successful Poole Trainee.”

“The partnership is true to each other’s input and produces good and outstanding teachers.”
  Ally Mullany, Headteacher, Catholic Combined School
 
 
 
 
“Trainees have an excellent understanding of how schools work. The smallness of SCITT means that we have a good relationship - using practitioners from real, live classrooms means that trainees get up to the minute thinking and theory.”
  Rhonda Moore, Lead Learner, Broadstone First School
 
 
 
 
“A great institution that plays an invaluable role in the preparation and recruitment of high quality teachers.”
  Maurice O’Brien, Headteacher, St Mary’s Catholic Combined School
 
 
 
 
“I chose the SCITT course because of the reputation it has in this area for being a really high quality course that produces great teachers who have good job prospects. It was recommended to me by teacher friends and also others who had completed the course in previous years who spoke very highly of it. Above all, I wanted a course that was predominantly classroom based, where I could learn from experienced and outstanding teachers. That's definitely what I got”

“.....assessment, feedback and support for trainees’ well-being and professional development which is helping to raise standards and improve rates of progress.”
  OFSTED 2010
 
 
 
 
“I chose to study on a SCITT course as I felt that it was a good balance between theory and practice. I also liked the fact that you are one of a small group of people which means there is a strong sense of group morale and you get to know both the tutors and the other students on a personal level. The fact that you are working in schools in the local area means that you can build a good understanding of which schools you may want to work in after the course. The Poole SCITT course is very highly regarded in the area and is run by a fantastic staff team.”
