One of the benefits of training through a School Direct programme is the level of support that you get. You will have a subject mentor in school who will meet with you weekly and discuss your training needs. In addition you should be shadowing a range of staff members within a department who will all support you with planning and give you feedback. We have a team of NELTA Professional Development Tutors who will also provide support, information, advice and guidance. We also offer an intensive few days of training before you go into your first placement where we will teach you the basics of teaching and learning. If King’s or UCL are your accredited provider you will also have a university tutor who will also monitor your progress and give you feedback.
