Train to teach with Great North SCITT!

We are proud to be a partnership school for the Great North SCITT Initial Teacher Training Programme.

This ‘Strong’ (Ofsted 2026) 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.

Collingwood Primary School has been involved with the Great North SCITT supporting 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.
