Primary Programme

Primary

We offer a one-year School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme for the Primary phase, in partnership with Ambition Institute. The programme prepares you to teach children aged 5–11.

The programme runs from September to August, with participants gaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in July. 

You will spend most of your training year in one of our brilliant local partner schools, observing excellent practice and becoming part of the school community. You will spend four days a week in school and one day a week completing online and/or face-to-face training. 

We provide a strong support structure to guide your development: 

• An in-school subject specialist mentor, alongside a Lead Mentor from North-West London Train to Teach 
• Short placements in a range of education settings, including a primary school, a SEND setting and a contrasting school 
• QTS awarded through Ambition Institute 
• A PGCE awarded by Liverpool Hope University 

We create opportunities for participants to network with their cohort and other trainees across their local area and London through conference days and meet-and-greets. 

Our training is delivered across Brent, Barnet and Enfield.
