Are you, or is anyone you know, interested in training to be a teacher? CCHSG is lead school for Colchester Teacher Training Consortium (CTTC), one of the best training providers in the area. The school centred programme, recognised by Ofsted as outstanding, allows trainees to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) through a combination of taught sessions and practical training alongside colleagues in schools. CTTC is currently recruiting applicants for September 2024 and graduates can qualify as a teacher in Primary or Secondary education with just a year of training. Tax-free bursaries of up to £28,000 are available for eligible trainee teachers in certain subjects. Pastoral support and mentoring is a strength of the programme and local schools are keen to employ trainees from the partnership. The starting salary for teachers is currently £30,000 and many former trainees have moved quickly into leadership and management roles. Do contact us at CCHSG if you would like help with organising a school taster experience or need any advice from subject staff.
