• Teacher Training at Welcombe Hills School

  Fri 19 Oct 2018

  Welcombe School is committed to supporting the training of new teachers coming in to the profession. Working in partnership with the Gateway Alliance and the University of Warwick we provide placements and training opportunities for those training to teach. We offer these through the School Direct teacher training programme within our school.

  School Direct is a school-led initial teacher training (ITT) programme that provides a fantastic experience if you want to train and learn ‘on the job’.

  You’ll be part of our school based teaching team from the very start, receiving intensive support from experienced teachers and mentors. You will access an outstanding academic programme of study at the University of Warwick which will support you to understand the

  theory behind teaching whilst developing and practicing your skills in school.

  We can also provide short term experience placements for those considering teaching as a career.

  For more information please speak to us in school or visit the

  Gateway Alliance School Direct Partnership website at www.gatewayalliance.co.uk/school-direct

  Mental Health and Well Being is a huge issue of our times.
  All schools have lead person looking after the Mental Health and Well Being of both the pupils and staff, which from September is Jean Langdon, Deputy Headteacher.

   

  We are trying to achieve an Award in Mental Health and Well Being for the school, first we need to find out the thoughts of pupils/staff and parents. We can then look at what we need to improve in school to support Mental Health and Well Being.

   

  We really appreciate the views of our parents so please follow the link below to answer the questionnaire:
