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. 5 Why Us? Carmel Teacher Training Partnership (CTTP) is based at Carmel College Darlington, which is an outstanding 11-18 Catholic Academy working with all schools across the North East. We are a well-established, independent, accredited provider of school-centred teacher training. In 2012, we were awarded ‘Outstanding’ status by Ofsted. We offer a bespoke training programme which meets the individual needs of trainees in both primary and secondary schools. The CTTP programme aims to promote excellence in all aspects of education through focused central and school-based training activities. Trainees are based in our Partnership schools for the duration of the programme. Our ultimate goal is to develop skilled, reflective and creative practitioners who will enthuse and inspire future generations. 6 10 Reasons To Choose Carmel Teacher Training We’ve been training teachers for over 17 years - our experience and reputation is second 1 to none More than 90% of our trainees consistently go on to secure a teaching post; often being 2 offered a teaching job in the school in which they trained We’re rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted- we’ve achieved the highest standards which we 3 can share with you We know that no two trainees are the same - we treat you as an individual and provide 4 you with a training programme that is tailored to your specific needs Learning on the job.

Training for the programme takes place in geographical clusters across the North East. Programme Content: General Professional Studies: Professional Role of a Teacher; Safeguarding; Behaviour for Learning; SEN(D); EAL; Literacy across the Curriculum; Assessment, Tracking, Pupil Progress; Data; Equality and Diversity. Subject Specialism Pedagogy and Subject Knowledge. Masteres (MA) Modules delivered by St Mary’s University, Twickenham - ‘Flying Faculty’ – in Newcastle and Darlington. The CTTP Programme ensures that our trainees receive quality support on their journey to achieving PGCE. All schools involved in the Partnership and training are experienced classroom practitioners who take great pride in supporting and training exceptional, highly motivated teachers of the future. 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.” 11 Location of Partnership Schools Primary (UCAS Code) Secondary (UCAS Code) Carmel College, Darlington (School Direct 1KF, SCITT C23) Harton Technology College, South Shields (1D7) 1.

  • Parish Profile August 2019
    Parish Profile August 2019 In plurality with St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe and St. Mary’s, Piercebridge St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe All Saints’ Church, Blackwell St. Mary’s, Piercebridge Seeking to Grow God's Kingdom by growing the Church, growing as disciples and growing in service to the parish and beyond. 1 Dear Applicant, Welcome to our parish profile and thank you for taking the time to read it. Our aim is to give you a taste of our Christian Mission through an understanding of our two parishes and their churches. This parish profile brings together two individual yet adjoining parishes on the western fringe of Darlington. It covers the parishes of Blackwell, All Saints’ and Salutation and Coniscliffe, which comprises St Edwin’s and St Mary’s churches. The vacancy has arisen following the departure of our previous Vicar, David Railton, to a new post in the west of Scotland. We are now seeking to appoint a new Vicar to serve both parishes, the two benefices being held in plurality. Whilst each parish has its own individual characteristics, the congregations have much in common. Both have a commitment to the growth of the Church, their own growth as disciples and to service in their community. This commitment is demonstrated as a significant number of members of the combined congregations carry out some kind of voluntary work within their church, participate through the PCC committees and maintain their commitment to planned giving and stewardship. The parishes support a small number of part-time employees whose work underpins our mission to our local communities.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
