PCP SCITT - Primary Teacher Training

The P*P SCITT provides Outstanding school-based primary teacher training with PGCE, School Direct or Apprenticeship routes in school across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire. The Primary Catholic Partnership (P*P) SCITT has offered local initial teacher training for nearly twenty years and has been consistently graded Outstanding by Ofsted since 2011. We offer a supportive training environment to around 35 trainees each year. Our inclusive ethos is central to our vision of training teachers who are confident, dynamic and creative professionals. P*P graduates endorse the high quality of our programme. 100% of respondents to our 2019 survey rated their school placements, preparedness to teach, and the pastoral support they received as good or better. Employment prospects are also strong, as our ‘rates of completion and employment are consistently higher than national figures’ (Ofsted 2018). P*P SCITT offers a tuition fee PGCE route into teaching, and also works with the Catholic Teaching School Alliance to offer School Direct and Apprentice training places. Our successful alliance consists of over 30 schools in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and IOW. P*P SCITT offers successful applicants the training opportunity that meets their individual needs, in a location near them. Located in purpose-built accommodation within the grounds of Holy Family Primary School, Southampton, the SCITT offers a well-equipped learning environment with two teaching rooms, a library and a spacious social area with catering facilities. The centre is accessible by car or public transport.
