About our school experience

We are dedicated to supporting the development of skilled, passionate teachers in our community. That's why we’re excited to offer school experience mornings in collaboration with Prestolee SCITT throughout the year.
These sessions provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily life of a teacher and gain a deeper understanding of how our school operates. During your visit, you’ll observe lessons in two different year groups, giving you valuable exposure to various teaching styles and classroom dynamics. Where possible, we’ll accommodate your preferences for specific year groups.
You’ll also have the chance to engage with both our school staff and the Prestolee SCITT team, asking any questions about teaching or the teacher training process. Plus, you'll receive detailed information about Prestolee SCITT's Outstanding teacher training programmes.
Please note that school experience days are managed directly by Prestolee SCITT, who will contact you to confirm availability and upcoming opportunities. Their team will contact you regarding registration and booking onto available experience days. Let us help you take the first step towards a fulfilling career in teaching!
