We run a challenging but rewarding School Direct PGCE programme which will help you to secure deep and meaningful knowledge and understanding of teaching within secondary education. The Trust is a dynamic group of schools offering a diverse range of contexts and training enhancements. All schools are well respected in the community for academic and personal development of students through the wider opportunities they provide. The experienced and innovative Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) departments have a real passion for inclusion.
We have a successful history of working closely in partnership with Edge Hill University. Edge Hill provides trainees with the academic bedrock of effective teaching and learning. At Edge Hill, your knowledge and understanding of research, both as a consumer and a leader, will be deepened. Within your tutor group, you will engage in preparation for, and reflection of, your professional practices and plan next steps.
The cohort is big enough to share ideas and experiences as a learning community, but small enough to offer opportunities for truly tailored provision and personal support. In school, we will guide and coach you in putting theory into practice and develop your pedagogy and craft as a teacher.
