We are pleased to share a selection of comments from our most recent Ofsted Initial Teacher Education (ITE) inspection.
These highlights reflect the strengths, values, and high-quality practice recognised by inspectors across our programme. The following quotes illustrate the positive impact of our training provision:
“Leaders make fostering high-quality professional relationships a top priority. This is clear in the way they work in partnership with trainees’ school placement settings.”
“Course leaders have made sure that the training programme is highly ambitious. They have worked hard to design a curriculum which carefully links educational theory and practice.”
“The curriculum is sequenced well to develop the knowledge and skills that trainees need.”
“Trainees are extremely positive about their experiences.”
“Trainees feel totally supported, both with their well-being and their development as teachers.”
“Training at the centre equips them well with strategies to use from the very start of their first placement.”
“Programme and school leaders ensure that trainees are prepared well to carry out their role in safeguarding pupils’ welfare.”
