WHAT IS THE PRIMARY TRAINING route?
Our Primary Training Route Programme runs for one academic year on a full time basis.
The programme is designed so that trainees spend four days of the week in their host school, with the final day of the week at the NMITTP base for their Professional Studies sessions.
Every trainee will be assigned a mentor at their host school, who will meet with them weekly, conduct observations, give feedback and support their progress towards becoming an effective practitioner.
During Term 2, trainees will complete a six week second placement in a contrasting school setting.
All trainees who opt for a primary route can follow one of two courses:
age range 3-7
This course enables trainees to specialise in Early Years and Key Stage 1 and school placements will be within these age phases.
age range 5-11
This course enables trainees to specialise in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 and school placements will be within these age phases.
HOW WILL THE PRIMARY Assessed?
Throughout the programme trainees are given opportunities to present evidence of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that they have gained at each stage.
additional qualification: pgce (SCITT)
Included in the fees for our Primary Training Route Programme, trainees complete an online PGCE (SCITT) with Leeds Beckett University. This Level 7 qualification is the equivalent to a third of a Master’s Degree and these credits can be used to gain a full Master’s Degree. Trainees will complete assignments which are based around their own experiences within the classroom and will develop their reflective skills and improve teaching and learning.
Additionally, there is a QTS-only option for the training route at a reduced cost.
finance
Training route trainees will be required to pay a tuition fee of £9,000 for the programme. This covers the cost of the PGCE (SCITT). Trainees are also eligible to apply for student finance. For more information, please click here
