Initial Teacher Training (ITT)

We are proud to be a partnership school for the North Tyneside School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) Programme.

This ‘Outstanding’ (Ofsted 2023) course combines extensive, high-quality classroom experience with expert guidance.

At Collingwood Primary School we welcome trainees in Foundation Stage, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two for Initial, Developmental and Final Placements.

As a partnership school we are also involved in the governance of NT SCITT. 

Collingwood Primary School has been involved with the North Tyneside SCITT for many years including recruitment, placement and ongoing specialist CPD. We relish working with enthusiastic students and have moved to appoint students from the SCITT as teachers in our school. Collingwood prides itself on dedicated and determined staff who want to make a difference and want to support those training for the profession to be excellent practitioners.  We are a creative team with current, up to date knowledge within a demanding and fully inclusive environment.
