From September 2024, our approach to teacher education is evolving as we enter into a new partnership with the National Institute of Teaching.
Ormiston Teacher Training – our school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) – will deliver high-quality teacher education across four regional campuses situated in Norfolk, Staffordshire, Suffolk and the West Midlands.
At Ormiston Teacher Training, we have a commitment to high quality, evidence-informed teacher education and we are on a mission to improve the quality of teacher development across the system.
Our vision is to transform the lives of pupils by nurturing the talents of teachers.
Our initial teacher training (ITT) programme, in partnership with the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), is a fully immersive school-centred programme – aspiring teachers will be in the classroom from the very start. Our trainees are fully supported; they each have a dedicated mentor and core training once a week with the Ormiston Teacher Training team.
As an Associate College of the NIoT, we are in the privileged position of being able to offer our aspiring teachers a programme that is rooted in national research whilst reflecting the local contexts of the schools and communities in which they will work. Our future teachers will learn from established experts, including teachers, teacher educators, and experts in teacher professional development, all of whom are specialists in their fields.
By training to teach with us, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that you are participating in a programme that was designed by some of the most experienced teachers and leaders in the country, drawn from four leading school trusts with decades of teacher-training between them. We also know from experience what headteachers look for in new teachers – so we will ensure that you develop the skills necessary for finding an early career teacher (ECT) role. All our teacher training courses lead to QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) and 60 master’s level credits.
