Training Opportunities in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes
The Grand Union Training Partnership is a school-centred
initial teacher training (SCITT) consortium centred on a group
of 11 – 18 comprehensive schools situated in villages and small
towns West of Northampton and in Milton Keynes.
We provide Secondary PGCE courses validated by
The University of Leicester in:
English, History, French, German, Science, Mathematics
and Business Studies
We aim to give trainees, whom we refer to as Associate
Teachers, as much practical experience of working in the
partnership schools as possible. Each Associate Teacher’s
work and programme of study is supervised by a Mentor
who will take a close interest in their development as a
subject teacher and colleague. This part of the course is
complemented by a general professional studies programme
provided in co-operation with The University of Leicester.
Our overall aim is to produce reflective professionals,
confident in applying for and starting their first jobs as
secondary school teachers. Over half of our Associate
Teachers take up their first teaching posts in the scheme’s
partnership schools.
Promoting excellence in teaching
The Grand Union Training Partnership is committed to
equality of opportunity and welcomes applications from all
sections of the community.
