SCITT: School Centred Initial Teacher Training
“The lecture [by Dr Sarah Garfinkel on the ‘Body and the Brain’] was intriguing where we learnt that our ‘gut instinct’ is an intuitive thing. As a successful neuroscientist, we were honoured to have had this opportunity with her and thanked Dulwich College for their hospitality."
The new national School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) courses are aimed at new graduates and career changers. The package offered to trainees, including the option to train at independent and state schools, makes this new course a very favourable option. The National Maths and Physics (NMAP) SCITT is run by Wycombe High School in High Wycombe, whilst the National Modern Foreign Languages (NMFL) SCITT is run by Silverdale School in Sheffield. There are three national hubs, with Dulwich College acting as the lead school for the London Hub. Hub schools coordinate other interested schools in the area and facilitate interviews, quality control and professional development. Dulwich College is looking for London schools to join the London Hub. Each partnership needs a mix of state and independent schools in order to offer the requisite training placements.
