  • 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.

  • St. Michael's CE (VA) Junior School Newsletter by Mrs Rumsey
    St. Michael’s CE (VA) Junior School Newsletter by Mrs Rumsey Friday, 5th July 2019 Dear Parents/Carers, The school choir performed 2 concerts at the weekend. One on Friday night at Anglia Ruskin University and one at the North Avenue Christian Centre in aid of Christian Aid. In both concerts the children were brilliant in both their performance and behaviour. We received an E mail from a member of the audience, it reads:- I was in the audience at the concert on Friday evening and just wanted to say that it was a wonderful performance by your choir - you must be very proud of them. A lot of hard work and enthusiasm had obviously gone into their singing I would also like to compliment them on their behaviour when they sat aside while the Anglia Singers performed. - A great credit to your school. I think that says it all. Enormous thanks to our wonderful parents who have been supporting the choir this year as we have performed across Chelmsford. You have been brilliant and I couldn’t have done all these events without your support. 1 On Thursday, 27th June, six Year fives went to Great Baddow High School to participate in a Spelling Bee competition. We came 1st and won by 1 point. At the presentation ceremony, we got gold medals. Thanks go to Mr. Leeding for driving the minibus, Miss Newman for taking us and Mrs. Orton for organising and teaching us. Report written by Max L. and Olivia Me. in 5O. Please can we have all sports kits returned to school.
