Why Train With Us
Our bespoke training focuses on developing and nurturing creative teachers who inspire learners.
EAST SCITT programmes are focused on producing highly effective, fully qualified teachers. Our school-led model will give you the skills and experience needed to secure a teaching position in primary or secondary schools.
We know that your role in becoming a teacher is both exciting and demanding. We understand that trainees have individual needs and we will tailor our support to ensure that these are met.

Our team of trainers are all current practitioners in schools, giving you the chance to work with and learn from experts in their field.
