Swift Teacher Training

Get education right, and the odds of children living healthy, happy and rewarding lives increases. Yet too many children do not have access to a great education, especially if they are from poorer backgrounds. Our mission is to ensure that new teachers entering the profession have the expertise to transform the lives of children and their communities. Our overall aim for our courses and PGCE is to enable trainees to make the strongest possible start that leads to ever-deepening expertise across their career. Specifically, we want all trainees to- Develop a high level of expertise in phase and subject(s)- Experience evidence-based training that brings together theory and practice- Engage in critical analysis of research through our PGCE- Belong to close-knit, supportive training communities- Prioritise approaches to teaching that are inclusive of pupils with SEND and EAL- Develop agency to bring about a fairer education for all pupils- Be effectively prepared for the next phase of their career, including how to lead a good work-life balance.
