As a SCITT provider we have a regular ITE Ofsted inspection to monitor out training provision. Below are the highlights from our last inspection report:
“The absolute commitment of leaders to address inequality. They ensure that trainees have an expert grasp on the strategies required to address the barriers to learning for many of the most disadvantaged pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.”
“There is evident leadership capacity and a commitment to ensure that the provider produces the very best teachers for pupils within the East Midlands and for the city of Derby in particular.”
“High-quality trainees are recruited, trained well and then carefully supported in their first year of teaching.”
“The provider has successfully ensured that very many trainees have completed their training, secured teaching posts and then have continued within the profession.”
“The trainees benefit from high-quality bespoke training. Regular opportunities exist for their progress to be reviewed and for the programme to be adapted if needed. Much happens to ensure that individual needs of trainee teachers are successfully met.”
