The Compton School

The Compton School is the 'Lead School' for a range of excellent Secondary schools in North London. As a lead school, The Compton School work with The Compton SCITT Partnership.

The continuing professional development of staff has been at the heart of our sustained success as an Ofsted graded Outstanding School (2022). We have an excellent track record in training, retaining and developing staff as outstanding classroom practitioners, middle and senior leaders.

Our trainee teachers train work alongside outstanding staff all year before qualifying as teachers. Senior teachers from The Compton School and across the partnership, working on national programmes of education and are regularly training teachers delivering first class training in school each week. This ensures our trainee teachers are receiving the best and most current education and theory practice.

“trainees will receive an immersive training programme where they are working alongside outstanding teachers with current and relevant experience.”

We believe that our school based route to qualified teacher status offers an in-depth opportunity to work in a systematic, sustained way alongside outstanding teachers.

Above all, we are committed to delivering a first class “hands on” training programme that will provide the foundations for an outstanding career in teaching.
