OfSTED (March 2010) As a result of their own positive attitudes and consistently good training, trainees progress well in relation to their varied starting points. Trainees and school mentors appreciate the benefits of how the course is structured; they feel that the 12 week block of centre-based training at the beginning of the course helps trainees to begin their first school placement with confidence and a better-than-expected level of expertise. Training is tailored well to suit each trainee’s individual needs. Provision across the partnership is of a consistently high quality. Trainees benefit from placements in schools that offer diverse experiences but consistently strong training. The provider knows the schools well and selects placements carefully. Communication with schools is excellent. Good support structures enable staff to offer trainees strong personalised support. The provider’s record of taking action for improvement is excellent. The partnership enjoys a strong reputation locally; schools strongly support the partnership and feel fully involved. Click here to read more from our latest OFSTED Report. |
