It’s FAQ Friday where we answer some of the common questions we get asked about becoming a teacher. This week: What does the Assessment Only route to QTS actually cost?

The cost of qualifying as a teacher through the Assessment only route to QTS is £2,800, payable before the first visit.Additional costs may apply if you are a teacher working abroad who requires an assessment team to travel to carry out an assessment in your home setting, and travel costs might apply if you work in a school a long distance away from the SCITT. We will, of course, try our best to minimise any such costs.More info -> www.etpscitt.co.uk#faqfriday #getintoteaching #traintoteach #teachinessex ... See MoreSee Less

A snapshot of one of our science lectures. Trainees explored the factors that affect how a paper helicopter falls. They worked through the entire investigation as if they were a year 5 pupil - identifying the variables, making a prediction, carrying out the investigation and presenting their findings. They discussed what working scientifically skills they used, and considered how they would teach this activity for themselves.
