St Mary and St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School
BWCET - Our partnership of Catholic schools has extensive experience of working with student teachers and can provide excellent school placement opportunities across Primary and Secondary.
All of our Lead Schools have outstanding practice in learning and teaching with specialist staff in all curriculum areas. Our wealth of experience in training teachers means our mentoring and support for new staff is second to none: a comprehensive training and support programme begins on the very first day of term in September.
Having also a proven track record of successful school to school support, with key staff designated as Trust Specialists, means our schools will ensure your continuing professional development needs are addressed.
Every aspect of the programme is aimed at developing you as a Professional. Schools are looking to employ the best teachers, those that are aware of the current demands of teaching as a profession.
Our ‘Education and Professional Studies’ will address assessment and reporting, special education needs, classroom organisation and management, pupil behaviour, the professional responsibility of teachers, current school and curriculum issues.
You will be allocated a subject mentor from our staff with vast experience to support you through the year. These outstanding classroom practitioners will introduce you to school life and help you to learn how to teach your subject and also provide you with regular feedback and guidance to improve.
By choosing to complete your training through BWCET Centre for Teaching you will be immersed in school life from the outset, interacting with students and learning first hand from outstanding teachers.
We provide an innovative initial teacher training programme which will develop all aspects of your teaching repertoire and thoroughly prepare you for your NQT year.
You will practise a broad range of skills in a bespoke training programme that will aim to develop you into an outstanding practitioner from the outset.
BWCET Centre for Teaching works closely with Sacred Heart Newcastle SCITT, Durham SCITT, Gateshead Schools Direct and Carmel Teacher Training.
