We offer both the SCITT and the School Direct Salaried programmes. Successful completion of either of these programmes leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and the academic award of a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). The PGCE is validated by the University of Brighton.
Both courses are a combination of school and centre based training. The training is led by experienced class teachers, subject leaders, university lecturers and educational consultants.
All trainees have a mentor in school to support and advise you as well as a Link Tutor from Henry Maynard Training E17.
School Direct SalariedN.B. The DfE removed funding for salaried courses for Primary teaching commencing September 2021. Consequently, salaried positions are only available for candidates already employed in a school and where the school is willing to fund the trainee’s salary and the full cost of the training.
This programme leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and the academic award of a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). The PGCE award is currently validated by the University of Brighton.
Trainees on the School Direct Salaried programme are employed as an unqualified teacher by the school in which they are based and learn ‘on the job’ alongside experienced teachers. You may be based in a class alongside another teacher, or you may be the only teacher in the class and be supported by another memebr of staff. As a paid employee there is an expectation that you will be able to teach classes or groups from day one and that you will be “up and running” quite quickly. You can be expected to teach up to 90% of a teacher’s timetable from September although this is generally not the case.
Trainees on the School Direct Salaried programme will be based in one of the schools in the partnership and will attend centre-based training at Henry Maynard Primary School. Initially this will be 2 days per week but as the year progresses it will reduce to one day a week and then less frequently. The remaining days will be spent in school teaching and completing school based tasks.

Students on the SCITT programme will be based in one of the schools in the partnership and will attend centre-based training at Henry Maynard Primary School. Initially this will be 2 days per week but as the year progresses it will reduce to one day a week and then less frequently. The remaining days will be spent in school teaching and completing school based tasks.
Student teachers on the SCITT programme are not paid employees of the school, they are students and as such they will always be based in a class alongside a class teacher.
To apply for the SCITT programme it is desirable that you have some experience working in schools or working with children but this does not need to be paid employment, it can be voluntary experience.
