Our Aims, Vision and Values - Why Kingsbridge?

Kingsbridge Education Improvement Partnership - Teaching Excellence  

Becoming a teacher is one of the most exciting and rewarding things you will ever do…

 

 Why  choose Kingsbridge?

"I've been really impressed by the quality

of the training at Kingsbridge.

Many of the people on my 

course have already found jobs."

Jack, Physical Education Trainee

 

Choosing a place to complete the next step of your learning journey can be tough.

At Kingsbridge, we provide a fantastic package that offers excellent training, experience, and results. We have strong tradition of academic excellence. For more than 10 years we have been training graduates to become outstanding teachers. We are proud to say that we have a 100 per cent pass rate.

 

We offer a wide variety of opportunities to enrich your training. You will spend all your time with us based in one of our partner schools. You will also be able to experience life in a different teaching environment through a separate placement.

 

We will be with you every step of the way because all our placements offer a level of support to suit your needs. Every trainee has a school-based mentor who is on hand to offer daily advice and guidance. You will also get dedicated support from your subject coaches and Kingsbridge's team of consultants.

 

 

At the end of your training, you will achieve qualified teacher status and a PGCE (SCITT). This qualification will give you 60 Master's credits which you can use if you choose to go on to complete your Master's qualification.

"All trainees who spoke with inspectors said that the partnership provides them with effective wraparound care, guidance and support. Trainees told inspectors that leaders of the SCITT are professional and consistent in how they lead, manage and deliver training."
