PROUD TO BE A NATIONAL
RESEARCH SCHOOL
Welcome
Welcome from Hollie Lawless, Head of SCITT
AA Teamworks School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) is a supportive, high-quality, well established teacher training provider which offers a range of school-based routes into teaching. We are the only ITT provider in Calderdale, and we serve the West Yorkshire and East Lancashire region with school partners in Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Oldham as well as Halifax and the surrounding areas.
Our vision is to train teachers who have the knowledge, skills and understanding to make a real difference to children’s life chances. We believe the best way to prepare the teachers of tomorrow is in an immersive school-based experience supported by the most highly skilled and nurturing practitioners. We are committed to providing opportunities for children through education and ensuring there are no barriers which might impede them reaching their full potential.
All of our Initial Teacher Training courses offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, 60 Masters level credits together with Qualified Teacher Status in partnership with the University of Huddersfield.
Our Vision…
Teaching is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. Our vision is to support trainees to have the knowledge, skills and understanding to make a real difference to children’s life chances. We believe the best way to do that is to deliver a high-quality, research-led training programme immersed in school practises and experience, led by serving teachers who are already making that difference every day. Learning to teach is demanding and we pride ourselves on providing our trainees with the highest quality of support and care. From the minute they start teaching and into their career.
LET US MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER…
