Testimonies:

I completed the Schools Direct Training programme at Hendon school last year. Although this was an extremely demanding and intense programme I believe that doing it at Hendon provided me with the appropriate support to not only flourish but also gain a real love for teaching. Hendon has so many inspiring and passionate teachers that it provides an environment where you are able to learn great practice and develop quickly in your own teaching and learning. Throughout my training year I always felt I was given consistently great support to develop in a nurturing environment, particularly within my own department.

I am teaching Japanese at Hendon School via the SCITT programme and my experience so far has been fantastic. Everyone has been welcoming and helpful during my time here, and the MFL department in particular have been very supportive. I am really enjoying teaching Japanese to younger students and older students alike. It is wonderful to hear students say that they would like to continue studying Japanese, whether that is at Hendon School and Sixth Form, or onto University!

Lampton School

We are also partnered with the Lampton School through the SCITT programme. For further details details click here http://www.lamptonlwascitt.org.uk/
