Whole School Issues

This part of the course focuses on wider school issues.

It aims to help trainees recognise the concerns which are common to all teachers, such as safeguarding, pastoral issues and behaviour management.

We introduce current thinking on these issues and encourage reflection on them in the light of both reading and school experience. This training is fully supported by school mentors and university tutors.

You'll learn through talks, cross-curricular seminars, watching videos, reading specifically chosen articles, policies and chapters, and taking part in discussions, workshops and school-based activities. Peer discussion and support is strongly encouraged throughout this element of the course.

Two weeks of professional enrichment during the summer term offer further opportunities for you to develop your expertise in areas and themes of your choice.
