I am Stephen McKenzie, Principal of GORSE SCITT. In January 2018, GORSE SCITT was recognised by OFSTED as being Outstanding in all aspects of its work. Our work is dedicated to training aspiring teachers to a high, practical and academic level within our alliance of schools. It should be noted that anyone who successfully trains with us, as well as receiving Qualified Teacher Training status from experienced leading school practitioners, will also be awarded a Post Graduate Certificate of Education and 60 points towards a Masters qualification. Over the last five years we have trained well over a thousand trainees across all subjects and in Primary and Secondary phases. The majority of these colleagues are pursuing successful careers in our Trust or Partner schools; a number of these colleagues have made rapid progress through their careers and hold positions of responsibility. We are currently training over 250 trainees across all subject areas, in Leeds, Bradford and Hull & East Yorkshire, whom we expect to develop into outstanding teachers by the end of June 2021. If you, or anyone else you know, is a Postgraduate or in their final year of studying at university and is interested in becoming a teacher, please pass on our details. The course is full time and takes one academic year to complete. There are bursaries and scholarships available on selected subjects of up to £26,000 to train. We are also offering various virtual open evenings this year; these offer the opportunity to meet the team and find out more information about what we offer.

  • 29 April 2019 Principal's Message There Is Much to Tell You About in Terms of Children Representing the School So Positively S
    Executive Principal: Primary Education: Simon McCarthy BSc (Hons) NPQH Principal: Helen Townsley BA (Hons) Chair of Governors: Mr Mark Roper 29 April 2019 Principal’s Message There is much to tell you about in terms of children representing the school so positively since our Easter return. Firstly, I was so impressed with the Year 2 children and the wonderful effort they showed when completing their KS1 mock SATs. This week, our Year 6 cohort worked with teachers from across the Trust at The Ruth Gorse Academy and then went onto the Everyman Cinema in Leeds City Centre to relax! Both Trust colleagues and the staff at the cinema were glowingly positive about our pupil’s work ethic, manners and attitudes. Our Year 4 children, and some of their parents, have been visiting The Farnley Academy over the last two weeks to engage in a family cooking activity with a focus on healthy meals. As the children arrived back at Ryecroft, they were full of enthusiasm and they reported that they had learnt a great deal from this experience. They even brought me my lunch! Miss Dunderdale informed me that a member of staff at The Farnley Academy described the children as the politest group of children she had ever come across. This followed on from her holding the door for them and each and every child saying thank you without being prompted. In connection with events this week, it is very important to thank Miss Rennard (The Ruth Gorse Academy), Mr Denton (The Farnley Academy) and Mrs Webster (Boston Spa Academy and The Morley Academy) along with our SCITT colleagues for giving up their time to work with our Year 6 cohort.
