As a group of schools committed to delivering outstanding teacher training, STCAT extends its passion for engaging and personalised learning into a high-quality teacher training programme. We are invested in supporting aspiring teachers to fulfil their potential within the nurturing environment of one of our Trust schools. Working with Xavier Teach SouthEast, STCAT offers the ideal balance between learning from skilled classroom practitioners in good and outstanding schools alongside curriculum experts in their field.

Our ITT programme values the individual’s experience; once you join us in one of our Trust schools, you will be supported by experienced and well-trained mentors within the supportive culture of our schools. As one of the lead Early Career Framework Delivery Partner schools for Teach First we are also in a strong position to support teachers in making a smooth transition from the point of entry to the teaching profession into their early career.
