Train to Teach in Camden -School Direct Open Day at Eleanor Palmer on Tuesday 4th November 2014 9-12.30pm
For several years now we’ve been taking a lead role in training new teachers through the School Direct PGCE route. We work alongside the Institute of Education and 7 other excellent local Camden schools – Torriano Juniors, Kentish Town, Holy Trinity NW1, Fleet, Christopher Hatton, Thomas Coram and Primrose Hill – to deliver a really successful programme. Our programme is different because as well as attending all the same lectures as other PGCE students at the IOE, our students get together each week for specific, additional school-based INSET sessions and they know they will do their placements in a good local school. Last year 10 students graduated and many have jobs within our group of local Camden schools. This year we have 15 students. Reviews from students last year include:
“Being part of such an inspirational group of schools has given us the opportunity to observe outstanding practice. We’re part of a really supportive group and have been welcomed into our schools from the very start”
“What makes School Direct with the Camden Primary Partnership special is the chance to work and learn hands-on in the best primary schools in the country, each with its own unique teaching and learning ethos and a generosity of spirit in sharing skills , mentoring and expertise.”
We are now recruiting for our School Direct teacher training programme for entry in September 2015 and we’d like to encourage anyone who is interested to make contact and/or to come along to our Open Day on Tuesday 4th November starting at 9am. Please email sarah.ewins@camdentsa.org.uk or phone Sarah on 020 7485 2155 to book your place. Lots more detail can be found on our Teaching School website: http://www.camdentsa.org.uk/school-direct/
