Essex Primary SCITT
Essex Primary SCITT will merge with CTSN SCITT in September 2024. CTSN SCITT is an accredited provider for Initial Teacher Education. Our primary programmes will run across four hubs in Braintree, Chelmsford, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge. Our EYITT programme will run across Essex, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.
At CTSN@Essex Primary SCITT we offer high quality school led teacher training for graduates wishing to teach in primary schools and early years’ settings. We offer programmes covering age ranges 0-5 and 5-11.
We offer a one year, full time or two year part-time school centred course leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). Essex Primary SCITT is an established primary provider with an excellent reputation for training very high quality new teachers. Working with our strong partnerships of schools across Essex we ‘grow our own’ teachers to fulfil our aim to train and retain the very best teachers for our schools. Teachers who are confident, highly skilled, enthusiastic, innovative, reflective practitioners trained to teach and transform children’s lives.
We are very proud to have been graded as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted for our Primary Programme (November 2017) and as ‘Good’ for Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) Programme (June 2018).
“Trainees receive excellent support, advice and guidance over the course of their training which equips them with the skills and knowledge to become successful, skilful and reflective teachers.” (Primary Ofsted, November 2017).
“Trainees are highly successful. They contribute effectively to the education of babies and children.” (Early Years Ofsted, June 2018).
