The North Tyneside SCITT programme offers a school-based route which provides a practical introduction to teaching and a professional qualification to teach primary children aged 3-11 years.

The SCITT offers guaranteed placements within our North Tyneside partnership schools where you’ll get practical, hands-on classroom experience and train alongside some really inspiring teachers.

This highly distinctive course has been developed in response to changing priorities in the field of primary education over recent years.

The North Tyneside SCITT programme will equip you with the knowledge, skills and understanding to become an effective primary school teacher.

Where are we?

The taught programme will be delivered mainly at the Swans Centre for Innovation, Wallsend. The centre is located just of Buddle Street and is a 5 minute walk to Wallsend Metro.

Many of the consultants who work for North Tyneside Council's Early Years and Primary School service delivery training in schools also lecture on the course, which means trainees receive the most up-to-date research and training that is currently being delivered in schools. These consultants along with the Programme Manager are centre based so are always on hand to offer support and guidance to trainees when needed.

Facilities

The centre has a training room, free Wi-Fi, free parking and a common room which is solely for the use of trainees and can be used as a breakout / relaxation area.

North Tyneside SCITT trainees have access to Northumbria University's Coach Lane Campus facilities nearby. Coach Lane Campus is four miles from the centre and has a large library offering an on-line research facility and other resources.
