Chrysalis Multi Academy Trust, in partnership with Teach First, is proud to announce the launch of Chrysalis SCITT. This School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme offers trainees the opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE.

Trainees will undertake a four-day-a-week school placement from mid-September to July, focusing on applying their learning to make a real impact in the classroom.

The programme balances developing your subject knowledge and expertise alongside giving you a deep understanding of effective teaching methods and techniques to manage your workload and wellbeing.
