2 3 Why Teaching is a rewarding, exciting and fulfilling Teach? profession.

By bringing your skills and knowledge to the classroom, you can make a real difference to the lives of young people.

Every day you are able to share your enthusiasm for learning so that it will inspire others to realise their potential and to discover their talents.

Teachers shape the lives of future generations. This is an exciting prospect for all teachers and despite some challenges, it remains the most rewarding and deeply satisfying career.

Teaching salaries are competitive and there are many opportunities for professional development and career progression. Generous holidays allow you to pursue your hobbies and interests, travel and spend time with family and friends.

4 What is CTTP?

Our Initial Teacher Training takes candidates under the School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) and School Direct programmes and provides a great alternative to training through a university. Because our training is school based, we provide you with practical, job based learning from the start.

As you are working in a school, you are also much more likely to get a job at the end of your training. In fact, 100% of our trainees go on to secure a teaching role.

At Carmel, we have been inspiring the next generation of teachers for over 17 years and now provide Initial Teacher Training to over 120 trainees every year.

Considered an Outstanding provider by Ofsted, we now work with 10 lead schools throughout the North East, successfully training primary and secondary teachers in all subject areas.

As one of the top performing schools in the country we pursue excellence in all we do. We value each individual and ensure each trainee can achieve their full potential.

10 Primary

“The ITT course through CTTP was a hectic, yet fantastic year. Prior to the course my only experience of Primary School was being a student twenty years ago. The support and training offered was second to none. The opportunity to meet and share experiences with other trainees, mentors, professional tutors and partnership link tutors, laid the foundations of a support network that gave me the tools to succeed. The programme, as expected, was rigorous, challenging and exhilarating. The key for me was to firstly be organised and secondly to be like a sponge - soaking up as much knowledge and advice as possible from the experienced practitioners that you are surrounded by on a daily basis. At times it seemed that there were many areas to keep on top of, however upon reflection I realise that this has thoroughly prepared me for my future teaching career. Looking back on how far I have come in the last year, I believe that the holistic and supporting approach from CTTP was of immense benefit.” Case Studies Secondary

“I completed the ITT course in Modern Foreign Languages with CTTP and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody hoping to enter the teaching profession. Throughout the year I received exceptional support from the full training team, including vastly experienced mentors and colleagues, at both Carmel and during my second school placement at a partnership school. I regularly received constructive and supportive feedback that covered a range of topics. This support helped me to continually progress throughout the academic year and it continued to serve as a great help during my NQT year. The support networks provided by CTTP were faultless. There is clearly a desire to provide trainees with the most positive and supportive experiences throughout the training year and all staff involved have contributed to that.”
