Bolton St Catherine's Academy

The Bishop Fraser Trust Bolton & Bury ITT Partnership working with Liverpool Hope University is focussed on providing all pupils the opportunity to access high quality teaching and learning to help them reach their full potential. We want to be the inspiration that drives them to achieve their dreams. With this in mind we are committed to training the next generation of outstanding teachers. BSCA is an all through Primary and Secondary school and we offer school experience in both phases.

About our school experience

Details
The Bishop Fraser Trust Bolton & Bury ITT Partnership (formally St James's Partnership) offers school experience days across a wide number of subject areas. Our day involves meeting the ITT team, tour of the school, observations of lessons in your chosen area and meeting current trainees. We initially offer one day and then further days can be booked after the initial visit. We do not charge for the experience day, however if someone would like to do a long term placement, we would charge for any costs associated with completing an enhanced DBS.
