New Year - New Career!

Manor Teaching School Hub will be holding several information sessions for anyone who is interesting in teaching as a career. The meetings will provide information on the various routes and courses, qualifications required, how to apply and finance. More here.

We partner with accredited provider Barr Beacon SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training) who have many years of experience and who provide both Primary and Secondary opportunities.

 

If you would like to train to teach in a local Outstanding school with placements in local primary schools across our excellent partnership, then training with Manor Primary School can offer this, helping you to fit a new career with your home life.

During your training year you will receive practical development sessions from highly experienced teachers who are also part of the early career framework (ECF) training provision. So you will have people around you who understand what you need now as well as understanding what you need for the next steps in your career. Your in-school placements will be local and offer you the opportunity to observe and learn from school-based practice at its best.

Great recruitment prospects

Manor Multi Academy Trust-based programme is popular with trainee teachers who are hoping to gain a position in their placement school following their training. Within the programme, we provide trainee teachers a ‘Teacher Recruitment Day’ which is a unique opportunity for trainees to experience what is involved in teacher recruitment, with the added prospect of a job offer at the end of the process.

Over the past five years, 100% of the trainees who completed the course have been offered a job.

 

Support

The hub-based PGCE is a smaller cohort than university-led, therefore we can offer our trainees greater support during their course, including preparing for interviews and career support.

 

Placement location close to home

We consider the placement location of each of our trainees individually to ensure we place you within a reasonable distance from home. This reduces the time and expense of travelling out of the county to placements and if you don’t drive, then the course is still accessible to you.

 

Placement transition

Trainees can easily transition between their 3 placements within our 9 schools, as the curriculum, vision and values are the same across the trust.

 

Networking and collaboration

When you join Manor Multi Academy Trust you join our Manor family of 860+ staff members.

From day one you will instantly become part of our family and have access to a wide network of helpful and knowledgeable colleagues who can offer extra support and share their experiences and best practices.

 

Career Development

We provide high-quality, innovative CPD for all staff from trainee teachers through to ECTs and school leaders.

 

Expert trainers

You will have access to specialist trainers and experts including local subject leads. Our trainers are working in school daily so have up-to-date knowledge and experience.

Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Routes explained:

  • The most common route into teaching is the PGCE, which can be studied at university or as part of a school-based training programme. 

  • QTS is a professional qualification for teachers that makes them eligible to work in schools in England.  For many schools, such as state schools, the QTS is a requirement for teaching jobs.  Other institutions like private schools, free schools and academies might employ teachers without QTS, but it’s still a useful qualification and many be desirable even in these institutions. 

    There are multiple ways of getting QTS. 

  • A SCITT is a post-graduate teacher training route that will lead to QTS.  This teacher training route is designed and delivered by schools linked to an accredited SCITT provider. Most of the training involves being in the classroom, teaching and learning alongside experienced teachers.  You will gain experience in two contrasting school settings and two different key stages during the training and there will also be professional studies and subject based training session related to the theory of teaching, learning and classroom management.  

    A SCITT usually takes 1 academic year, although some providers also provide graduate SCITT routes.  

    Most SCITT programmes also involve studying for a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), and will be linked to a University for this.   

  • PGCE courses based at university start with an academic focus that covers teaching, learning theory and managing classroom behaviour. You apply to study with a specific training provider/university and will conduct the majority of your study on campus. You’ll also get classroom experience, spending time teaching and being trained in at least two schools for a minimum of 24 weeks. 

  • A graduate route for experienced unqualified teachers to achieve QTS. 

    This programme is offered by a number of universities, colleges and SCITTs, in England. If you are working as an unqualified teacher, you could achieve QTS via the Assessment Only route. If you have a degree and substantial experience of working in a school, early years, or further education setting, this option allows you to gain QTS without undergoing a teacher training programme. 

  • University or school-led training programmes leading to EYTS. 

    A number of postgraduate Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) programmes are available via university or school-led training routes. All lead to Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) on successful completion. EYTS allows you to specialise in working with children up to five years old only. 

  • An employment-based route that allows you earn a salary while you train.

    Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeships are a new, nationally-recognised, work-based route into teaching. In addition to working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) on successful completion of the course, apprentices will also complete an end point assessment (EPA) after the summer to consolidate learning from initial teacher training.
