home turf. Carlene Hutchinson-Norris reports
This term at Colegrave Primary School in Stratford, east London, we were delighted to welcome the first intake of 41 students on to our new primary level Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
The school recently became accredited as a School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider and is taking the lead in a consortium of 14 schools involved in delivering an east London-based primary SCITT programme. We have four more schools in the area due to come on board at the start of the next academic year.
All SCITT courses lead to qualified teacher status, and trainees have the advantage of learning in a school environment. Teachers based at the schools contribute their initial teacher training and teaching expertise through course delivery and as professional and school-based tutors. Train- ees gain experience at placements in the consortium's other schools.
