School-Centred Initial Teacher Training allows you to spend more time in school than other training routes. We will provide you with a school-based mentor. They will guide you through your placements. To get you ready they will show you what best practice looks like and teaching alongside you to develop your skills and confidence in front of a class. Once you feel ready to teach on your own, they will support you to review and improve your practice, until you are the very best teacher you can be.
Once a week you will go to our dedicated training facilities at a local Outstanding school. Here you will study the theory and pedagogy of the teaching you have observed. Some of the best teachers in Peterborough will provide as much advice and insight as they can. Generally around proven teaching methods and current research-based practices. You can then put these into your teaching the very next week.
