Threaded Principles

We embrace adaptability to cater to the diverse needs of all stakeholders. Within this, we include not only our trainees but also our mentors, course providers, link tutors, Governors and SCITT team.
We know the people we work with and aim to carefully craft a program that both empowers and accommodates the requirements of everyone involved.

We promote purpose-driven integration to maximize the effectiveness of our programme.

We are rigorous in ensuring that our trainee teachers are evidence-informed and that all learning from the taught-element sessions is carefully sequenced and closely aligned with school-based placements. Regular communication, meaningful collaborations and explicit links ensure that all stakeholders are aware of this in order that the course is seamlessly and purposefully integrated.

At Portsmouth SCITT, wellbeing is a golden thread which runs throughout our course. Our robust policy and ethos around the importance of wellbeing starts from the recruitment stages and is a constant conversation with consistent tracking to ensure the positive mental health of our trainees. We believe that a strong focus on wellbeing is important in order to prepare trainees for the rigour and realities of the classroom.

As well as the wellbeing of our trainees, we prioritise the holistic wellbeing of all stakeholders as a core focus and as a fundamental pillar of our programme for lasting impact.

With the Core Content Framework as our basis for all learning, we go the extra mile to empower and inspire our trainees and other stakeholders. We strive to provide memorable and transformative learning experiences and unique opportunities whilst setting a new standard of excellence through our unwavering dedication.

We are driven by our deep-rooted connection to the South Coast, dedicated to serving this community. Committed to making our schools and children thrive through our locally-focused programmes. We aim to enrich South Coast’s ecosystem by investing in our local talent.
