Frank Field Education Trust

Our SCITT programme is a one-year teacher-training course that allows you to train and develop your skills in the classroom. Our SCITT course is ideal for people who are eager to learn on the job and make a difference in their community from day one. We’re working in partnership with Teach First to deliver our programme. With over 20 years’ experience as the largest initial teacher training provider in the country and an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating, they have worked with a range of educational experts and school leaders to develop this high quality, research-led programme.

How does it work?

This programme is for future teachers looking for full-time ‘hands-on’ training in a school close to your home. Our programme will give you plenty of practical experience, along with phase and subject-specific training and a deep understanding of effective teaching methods. You’ll be in the classroom from September 2025 and will benefit from the support of a trained mentor throughout your training. At the end of our programme, you’ll be awarded qualified teacher status (QTS) and postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE).
