Prestolee SCITT

Teamwork makes the dream work!

One of the things our trainees value most is being part of a small, supportive cohort. It makes it easier to build real connections, share experiences, and learn from one another as you grow into your teaching career.

Training to teach can feel like a big step, whether you are a career changer, a graduate, or a teaching assistant ready to progress. That is why having a strong community around you matters. You will never be on the journey alone.

Through collaboration, peer support, and shared learning, our trainees thrive together, building confidence, resilience, and friendships that last well beyond training.

Apply now to experience our community spirit for yourself and take your career that one step further.

Thinking about a career in primary teaching?

Whether you’re already working in a school or considering a career change, teacher training might be closer than you think.

Many teaching assistants choose to move into teaching, building on their classroom experience while gaining the qualifications and confidence to lead their own class. And if you’re coming from a different background, your skills and life experience are just as valuable too.

Primary teaching is about inspiring curiosity, building confidence, and making a lasting difference every single day.

✨ Supportive, school based training

Our trainees have now completed the Developing Phase of their training! This marks the halfway point in their journey to becoming confident, skilled primary teachers.

Over this phase they have built on the foundations from the autumn term, taken on more responsibility in the classroom, and begun to refine the strategies that make a real difference to pupil learning. From planning and delivering longer sequences of lessons to strengthening their subject knowledge and applying new approaches with growing independence, their progress has been fantastic to see.

They now move into the next stage of their training in a new placement school with a strong sense of momentum and a clear understanding of what great teaching looks like in practice. We cannot wait to see what they achieve next.

It isn't too late to book a space on our Barton Moss School experience day!
