  • Why Mid Essex?
    What is Mid Essex ITT? Mid Essex is a school-based Initial Teacher Training scheme. This means that you will undertake most of your training within a school environment. We will train you to teach at secondary school level. Tell me about the course.... • There is a combination of school based training & provider-led training • You will spend Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in your school • General Professional Studies takes place every Thursday morning • Subject Professional Studies takes place every Thursday afternoon • You will train in two different schools • You will have a visit to a primary school • You will also visit a special school • Support of at least three different mentors How long is the course? One year. The course will start the first week of September 2017 and will run until 30th June 2018. The course is full-time and you will need to be available Monday-Friday during term-time. What qualification will I get at the end? If you successfully complete the course, you will be awarded Qualified Teacher Status or “QTS”. Fee-paying trainees also work towards a Professional Graduate Certificate of Education (ProfGCE). Our ProfGCE is accredited by the University of Greenwich. Is QTS of equal value to a PGCE? QTS is the professional qualification that is required to teach in state schools in England and Wales. However, regulations vary in different countries – some insist on the academic qualification of PGCE. If you intend to teach abroad you should check the regulations in the relevant country. Both routes are equally promoted and valued and we have found that schools will want to employ great teachers regardless.

  • 1 APPEALING for a PLACE at a SECONDARY SCHOOL in the GEOGRAPHICAL COUNTY of ESSEX (YEARS 7 to 13) HOW DO I APPEAL? for Most Scho
    APPEALING FOR A PLACE AT A SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL COUNTY OF ESSEX (YEARS 7 TO 13) HOW DO I APPEAL? For most schools in Essex, you should complete the enclosed Notice of Appeal Form and return it to the address shown in the box at the top right hand corner on the Form. For some schools, you will need to deal directly with the school, as they do not buy in to the service offered by the Statutory Appeals Team – please see Appendix 2. For schools outside the Essex County Council area, you will need to contact them direct for details. Please note that a postal address showing Essex does not necessarily mean that the school is within the geographical county. Equally, a school may be situated within Essex but have a postal address of another county. We do not accept appeal forms by e-mail or by fax. We must receive the appeal form, both signed and dated, to begin the appeals process. In this document the word ‘appellant’ is used. That is usually the person having parental responsibility for the child. WHAT DO I NEED TO PUT IN MY GROUNDS OF APPEAL? You must fill in the information requested in Appendix 1. You must give your reasons why you want a place at the school for your child. Neither the School Admissions Team nor the Statutory Appeals Team can tell you what you should write. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SEND THE APPEAL FORM IN? The Statutory Appeals Team will write to you confirming receipt of your Appeal Form and any attached paperwork.
