Teacher Training Opportunities

Train to teach with us at Hendon

We work in conjunction with The Compton School who have been accredited by the Department of Education as a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider for the award of Qualified Teacher Status.

• The Compton current trainees are receiving excellent training and making rapid progress towards meeting the Teachers’ Standards

• As a new SCITT, The Compton are extremely excited to  be part of a small number of National Teaching Schools involved in a pioneering an innovative approach to teacher training:  outstanding teachers with current, relevant experience designing and delivering a training programme rooted in the realities of the modern classroom

• The school based route to qualified teacher status offers an in-depth opportunity to work in a systematic, sustained way alongside outstanding teachers

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

We hope that you share our school based vision of high quality teacher training and you will apply for a 2016-17 training place at The Compton SCITT
