About the Course
The SCITT programme is split into a mixture of school-based experience, lectures, group work, directed study and block placement school practices. The taught part of the programme is delivered at the Mitford Centre in north London, by a team of experienced tutors and classroom practitioners. We follow the pattern of school terms and holidays.
More than half of the course is spent in school, allowing trainees to build up good relationships with both pupils and staff. Your experience in school will progress from observing and working alongside your class teacher to taking full responsibility, firstly for groups and later, for a whole class. In addition to observing, you will be actively involved through practical activities in the classroom, to extend your knowledge and understanding of the curriculum. All the schools we use are in London, with the majority based north of the river.

Each subject also tackles issues such as the management of behaviour, planning, assessment etc.
In addition all trainees work on an EYFS module which can be submitted at MLevel.
