We have been working with other schools in the South and West Norfolk area in a partnership formally known as:
In partnership with the Encompass Teaching School Alliance led jointly by Hartismere Secondary School and Banham Primary School, we offer a supportive placement where students are able to develop and progress their teaching skills. Encompass also has the capacity to offer a period of time within a special school environment.
OUR INVOLVEMENT IN SCHOOL DIRECT
The Bawburgh School is a lead school offering School Direct Salaried and Tuition placements across a consortium of schools. We work very closely with Suffolk & Norfolk School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) to provide high quality ITT which is predominantly school based.
Salaried Route
Trainees on this route are employed by a school. You must have the support of a school who is willing to pay your salary when you apply. The minimum this can be is full-time on point 1 of the unqualified teacher or instructor scale. The school will also need to pay Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT a training fee of £4909. This includes the university administration cost for the PGCE.
Tuition Route
Trainees on this route are students and are required to pay tuition fees of £9250 to Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT. You may be eligible for a tuition loan to pay for this and also a maintenance loan. To check, please see the Student Finance calculator on the GOV.UK web site https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator
Both Salaried and Tuition routes offer:
- high quality teacher training – Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT awarded Outstanding by Ofsted 2013
- a blend of teaching experience in schools informed by high quality centre-based training
- training by experienced trainers many of whom are also classroom practitioners
- postgraduate Certificate in Education, Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 60 Masters level credits
