Our Curriculum

Our carefully planned programme, aligned with the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (formerly known as CCF/ ECF) , is designed to:

build trainees’ competence in the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the teaching profession;
help trainees develop effective working relationships with pupils, students, parents and colleagues;
support trainees in becoming reflective and resilient teachers who help raise aspiration and achievement of young people;
set the foundations for a long and successful career in teaching.

The curriculum is organised across 4 phases, carefully sequencing the development of trainee-teacher knowledge and the development of their practice through placement activity:
