CTSN SCITT values are centred around our trainees and the pupils we work with. Our trainee-centred approach combines practical experience with a research-informed curriculum. We deliver a progressively sequenced course supporting trainees to navigate the complexities of training to teach. With our expert tutors and strong partnership with Anglia Ruskin University, you’ll gain a QTS and/or PGCE (depending on route chosen), while developing professional knowledge through reflective enquiry. We offer high-quality mentoring, personalised support, and a curriculum that blends theory and practice, ensuring you are ready for the classroom.
CTSN SCITT offers a personalised high-quality, well-designed training course led by expert tutors and experienced practitioners who are passionate about developing future educators. Trainees gain a deep understanding of the curriculum, supported by outstanding leadership and management (Ofsted-rated). Our inclusive programme meets the needs of all trainees, including those with SEND, and prioritises well-being with tailored support when needed. Senior Tutors provide expert guidance, with a strong focus on personal development and professional excellence, throughout the course, helping you to become a confident, resilient, competent and a thriving teacher. Over 90% of our trainees’ secure roles in local schools.
Teachers with disabilities make an important contribution to schools both in the classroom and in shaping the wider culture and ethos of the schools they work in. Schools value diversity and the unique contribution that all their staff and trainees bring. If you have a disability, you shouldn’t be dissuaded from applying. If you are invited to attend an interview, and have any special requirements, please let us know beforehand so that we may make reasonable adjustments for you. We want all interview candidates to have an equitable and enjoyable experience, regardless of any disability.
We have excellent relationships with a wide range of schools across Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk. Placement schools are allocated considering trainee’s geographical location, transport availability, individual needs and school’s mentor capacity for a subject.
