ABOUT OUR ALLIANCE
South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust is working with the University of Cumbria to support the next generation of primary teachers in Barrow-in-Furness.
Led by Chetwynde School, which is the areas only all through school 3-16, the Trust offers a one-year PGCE in Primary Teaching with QTS.
The model is two days study (in Barrow) and three days placement, so students have a chance to put learning straight into practice.
Placements are at across the Trust’s six schools – Chetwynde, Newbarns, South Walney Juniors, Ormsgill, Cambridge and Vickerstown – as well as wider schools to suit the needs of the student and to offer two contrasting experiences.
Students will be guided by experienced mentors in a friendly, supportive environment with opportunities to gain experience in specialist settings.
The University of Warwick provides accreditation for the QTS element of these University of Cumbria programmes.
