Over the last ten years, GORSE SCITT has trained more than 2000 trainees in a wide range of subjects across the Primary, Secondary and Post-16 phases. We offer opportunities to train in locations across Leeds, Bradford, Hull and East Yorkshire.

As an outstanding provider of School Centered Initial Teacher Training, preparing trainees exceptionally well for successful careers in teaching is at the heart of what we do. We believe that placing trainees in schools for four days a week, for the vast majority of the programme, with the fifth day being spent in central training, is the best way to train to be a teacher. We also believe that subject training from specialists is invaluable that is why secondary trainees receive weekly subject sessions and primary trainees receive subject specific sessions on the breadth of the curriculum.

Expert Training

Course leaders plan and deliver training based on the latest educational research. Renowned experts deliver during our Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP) focused sessions to ensure that trainees receive the very best training opportunities.
