WHY CHOOSE CHESHIRE EAST SCITT?

 

The Cheshire East SCITT offers an 11-16 training programme with post 16 experience.

 

Trainees are placed in a range of highly supportive and inspirational learning environments to enable them to develop the rigour, professional knowledge and skills necessary for the delivery of creative and challenging teaching and learning. Our training sessions are delivered by expert colleagues, most of whom work within our partner schools and so they will be sharing with you what they know works in the classroom.

 

Cheshire East SCITT is based at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and works in partnership with 16 high-performing schools in Cheshire East and Staffordshire.

Some of these schools are nestled within the beautiful Cheshire countryside but can be accessed easily from the M6 and frequent train routes from Crewe and Manchester.

 

Being attached to a high school means that you will have opportunities to work with our students on training days and observe lessons within the school.
