essex and thames scitt class of 2026
Thank you to all of our wonderful mentors and wider staff teams for welcoming, supporting and coaching our 2025/26 trainee teachers and apprentices. As partnership schools you have a great impact on the future of our profession. Another talented group of teachers are now ready to start their careers and we are genuinely humbled and grateful for the time and support you offer to every trainee on our QTS course. We wish you all a restful summer and look forward to working with you again in September.
If you want to be a teacher, it's still not too late to apply to start this September. Applications for our 26/27 courses are still open. So apply now. By this time next year you will be a qualified teacher! Visit https://etpscitt.co.uk/ to learn more
Under the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill from September 2026 all new teachers in schools will need to have QTS or be working towards getting it. Schools will no longer be able to take on unqualified teachers. The Assessment-Only route to QTS is a specialised assessment route, distinct from a traditional training course, for graduates employed on a teaching contract. This route is designed for those with a diverse and comprehensive range of experience in schools or other settings, allowing them to meet all the Teachers’ Standards without the need for further training. Teachers produce a portfolio of evidence, are observed teaching, and take part in a viva. More information here -> https://etpscitt.co.uk/assessment-only-essex-southend.../
