School-Centred Initial Teacher Training
Futures Teaching Alliance recruits Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Special-school trainees in partnership with Teach First to provide School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT).
Our mission is to ensure that all of our trainees are supported and committed to creating exceptional and inspirational learning experiences and to ‘building brighter futures’ for the young people in our schools.

You will need to feel confident about teaching a wide range of national curriculum subjects, which include:
Core subjects: English, maths and Science.
