Teach SouthEast is an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) provider. Through its partnership with a range of schools, a high quality, bespoke School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme is delivered for aspiring primary and secondary school teachers across the South East of England.

Teach SouthEast’s partnership of schools are passionate about training and developing the outstanding teachers of tomorrow. Teach SouthEast works in partnership with Surrey Teaching Schools Network (STSN) which has been licensed to deliver the National College Leadership Programmes. Jointly, we take a lead on the professional development of teachers, support staff and future leaders.

High-quality training enables all trainees to develop into confident and competent professionals. Trainees are well prepared through first-rate placements which ensure that they gain substantial practical experience, developing their evaluative and practical teaching skills effectively. This is within a Home school placement, four days a week, with the fifth day spent receiving General Professional Studies and subject specific training. In-school expert mentors and external subject trainers have consistently high expectations and work collaboratively to ensure training is coherent and highly relevant to the needs of trainees.

We are delighted to have been appointed by the Xavier Teaching School Hub as a Delivery Partner school for the Early Career Framework (ECF) programme, offered in partnership with Teach First.  Since September 2021 all newly qualified teachers are required to undertake a two-year induction period, throughout which they are entitled to extensive, additional high-quality training, which has been specifically designed to extend and enhance their knowledge and skills.  As a Delivery Partner school, exemplary practitioners from our teaching team deliver that training, working with Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and their mentors from a wide variety of settings.

Salesian School and the Xavier Teaching School Hub share the same core belief that every child in our community deserves the best possible education so that their life chances are maximised.  Together, we recognise that the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers!  We are therefore committed to delivering high-quality, evidenced-based teacher development opportunities. We aim to challenge, inspire and nurture the talents and skills of teachers at all stages of their careers, enabling them to become outstanding practitioners and leaders so that all children can receive the education they need and so richly deserve.
