Our School Direct – Initial Teacher Training programme devised by FWTSA and University of Derby, places trainee teachers in the classroom from day 1 working alongside experienced teachers to learn the skills of teaching “on the job”. This real teaching experience is supported by training held at both the University and the Teaching School Alliance.
We are very excited to be working in collaboration with the University of Derby,on our hands-on style of teacher training.
We have been running our successful programmes for 5 years and have seen fantastic results along the way with all of our trainees securing teaching jobs after completion of their PGCE training year.

Professional Skills Tests
Trainees have to pass the professional skills tests in numeracy and literacy before they can begin their teacher training. The tests can be taken up to three times but any resits have to be paid for, so it’s important to be fully prepared.
You can practice the literacy and numeracy tests beforehand, either on-line or by downloading a copy to your computer.
