Teacher Training Opportunities

We regularly host a number of trainee teachers at Hedingham School and Sixth Form. We pride ourselves on providing a supportive environment where people can develop and refine the skills required in our profession.

We work closely with Mid Essex Initial Teacher Training (Mid Essex ITT). Please read on to find out more about training with Mid Essex ITT or visit www.midessexteachertraining.com 

What is Mid Essex ITT?

Mid Essex is an Ofsted-outstanding school-based initial teacher training scheme. This means that you will undertake most of your training within a local Essex school environment. We will train you to teach at secondary school level and, after successfully completing the course, you will be awarded QTS and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) accredited by Anglia Ruskin University. We offer both full time and flexible options.

We have more than 30 years’ experience of teacher training and over 1,000 teachers have trained with us. We are unique in that all our training is run by experienced, practising teachers. We are based at Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form and have links with some 20 secondary schools around Essex.
