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.
