The Stourport SCITT Team
At Stourport SCITT we are privileged to help mould the next generation of teachers, in turn shaping the future of our young people. Teaching and learning is our focus, which is why we are a high performing, School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider.
The team constantly explore new ideas and techniques for making learning exciting, engaging and fun, whilst we train our teachers of tomorrow. We are proud of our partnerships with local schools; our teacher training programme is greatly enriched by our wonderful expert colleagues - guiding, supporting and assessing our trainees as they move towards achieving qualified teacher status.
We look forward to supporting and training you at the start of your very exciting journey.
