Secondary School Teacher Training MFL

Anyone wishing to teach must complete their initial teacher training and be awarded Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Training to teach with NELT’s teaching school, Shotton Hall SCITT, allows those who complete the course to gain university accredited employment-based PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) from Durham University which equates to Qualified Teacher Status and 60 masters level credits.

Based in Peterlee, we are just off the A19, a short 20 minute drive from Durham or just over half an hour from Newcastle. Here at the NELT teaching school, Shotton Hall SCITT, you will be at the heart of school life, learning from outstanding practitioners from the outset who will help you to develop your career as a teacher as you interact with students within Teaching Alliance across North East England.

In partnership with over 90 local educational providers, we offer one of the most comprehensive, innovative and relevant school-based ITT courses available and in 2016 Shotton Hall SCITT was rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted for both our secondary and primary provision. In addition, our lead school, The Academy at Shotton Hall, was rated as Outstanding in all areas in 2013 making our course the perfect choice to kickstart your career in teaching.
