    School Direct Initial Teacher Training Programme 2019 - 20 Working in partnership with Working in partnership Welcome to the Kaizen Teaching School Alliance We would like to thank you for your interest in following a School Direct Initial Teacher Training programme in our Alliance. We firmly believe that the School Direct pathway into teaching has many advantages over the traditional initial teacher training routes, not least of which is the opportunity to experience school life at your preferred school right from the beginning of the academic year through to completion of your course and hopefully beyond. We have the experience and capacity to deliver outstanding teacher training for the next generation of teachers. As an Alliance, we are passionate about teaching and learning and we are also committed to providing exceptional world-class initial teacher training. We have a cultural mix of students who are keen to achieve. The Alliance has a number of schools OFSTED judged as OUTSTANDING. We are a forward-thinking ITT strand leadership team and our curriculum reflects the best possible way forward for all our students. Our aim is simple: We want to continue our tradition of raising standards through effective teaching and learning, whilst providing the highest level of quality for learning and teacher development. All schools in our Alliance work with our School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider, Kent and Medway Training (KMT). Last year, Kaizen had 19 trainees, all of whom successfully completed the course and majority of whom are employed in their first teaching post. You will spend the vast majority of your one-year full time training programme in the classroom, getting to heart of what outstanding teaching looks like.

  • Parent Booklet 2021 – 22
    PARENT BOOKLET 2021 – 22 1 The Malling School THE MALLING SCHOOL WAY We are very proud that our school is officially recognised as a ‘School of Character’ by the Association of Character Education. The development of our students’ character is central to everything we do at The Malling School and we continually strive to ensure our students follow what we refer to as ‘The Malling School Way’. ‘The Malling School Way’ is the foundation of our school and is something we are very proud of. We have identified three core character values that we feel perfectly summarise ‘The Malling School Way’. We encourage all our staff and students to strive to show these character traits. Our core character values are: “Caring, Determined and Reflective” Our first core value is being ‘caring’. We want our students to be caring and will continue to encourage them to look after others and provide for their needs. We stress the importance of putting others first and concerning themselves with how everyone is treated. We show that being caring means supporting those around you, however you can. Our second core value is being ‘determined’. We will continue to teach our students that being determined means you are willing to focus your efforts on challenging activities and keeping going especially when things are difficult. It means trying your best all the time, no matter what else is happening. Our last core value is being ‘reflective’. We will always teach our students that being reflective means you are able to consider possible alternatives. It means you can look back on what you and others have done and consider how to improve in the future.
