Primary Schools Direct Placements

• We aim to give student teachers a broad range of experiences during the course and aspire to offer contrasting placements. Student teachers will experience two school placements: either spending both placements within TRT schools, or alternatively, have the second placement in one of the Cornwall SCITT Primary’s partnership schools in Cornwall. Placements will focus on the 5-11 age range, but Early Years & Foundation experience will be gained in one of TRT placements, with an additional opportunity to participate in the transition process of Year 6 pupils into the secondary school, thus offering enhancement to develop understanding of Key Stage 3 context and curriculum.
