"SCITT went above and beyond to support the Subject Mentor."

SCITT went above and beyond to support the Subject Mentor with joint observations, assistance with paperwork and additional meetings. Thank you for the wonderful experience this year. This is our first time working with your partnership and I cannot fault your support, guidance, and communication.

"Seeing children responding to your teaching, planning and resourcing is so rewarding!"

Both of my parents are teachers and I grew up hearing their stories about how much they enjoyed the job. It was following my degree that I first considered teaching. I took up a football coaching position and worked with children on a daily basis.

"I was looking for a hands on experience where I could immerse myself in school life."

"I’d heard really good things about Durham SCITT"

I’d always wanted to teach. When I was at school, I had some amazing teachers who were passionate about their subject and this got me thinking about teaching as a career.

"I would most definitely recommend Durham SCITT… without hesitation!"

"My Subject Specialist was absolutely amazing."

I loved my time at Durham SCITT. It was hands on from the start and I knew I’d made the right choice - there was so much support. I’ve now been teaching for two years, and I can honestly say that Durham SCITT was a fantastic foundation for my teaching career! I felt fully prepared for my NQT...
