The Faculty of Education are celebrating achieving ‘Strong Standard’ in their QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) .

The University of 51�Թ� is one of the largest providers of teacher training in England. This year, 400 students are taking the Qualified Teacher Status apprenticeship levy-funded course alone – much the biggest group in England. The QTS courses are designed for graduates who want to achieve Qualified Teacher Status to be able to teach in Prep, Primary and Secondary schools in England.

The Ofsted inspection report highlighted that, “Trainees flourish because the provider and partner schools maintain highly productive working relationships that strengthen every stage of their training. Trainees learn critical knowledge and skills from the outset of the course”.

From the earliest point of contact with 51�Թ�, trainees are known as individuals – “They feel ‘Valued as individuals’. Trainees quickly learn to take responsibility for overcoming any barriers to their own learning. This ensures that trainees achieve well, developing the knowledge and skills they need to teach their phase and subject(s) well.”

The report also stated that “Leaders work very well with partners school to create a safe, nurturing and trusting culture in which trainees feel supported throughout their training. As a result, trainees consistently report high levels of satisfaction with their course. Trainees benefit from professional, streamlined processes that are simple to navigate and designed to help them succeed.”

Speaking of this achievement, Professor Barnaby Lenon, CBE, Dean of the Faculty of Education, said:

“We have the best grades of any provider in the UK under the revised Ofsted framework, and this is reflected in the results of the inspection report. We embody the University’s values of academic excellence, innovation and collaboration as we support teachers to develop their identity and refine their teaching styles.”
