Teacher Training
Grey Court provides a comprehensive professional development programme for trainee, early career and established teachers. This is further enhanced through our membership of the Wandle Teaching School Hub; an alliance of schools in the London boroughs of Kingston, Merton, Richmond and Wandsworth, formed to provide ongoing development for teachers at every stage of their career.
Early Career Teachers
We work closely with the Institute of Education and the Wandle Teaching School Hub to provide a two year training programme for early career teachers (ECTs). This highly structured, in-house programme involves close mentoring, support and encouragement of new teachers, and exceeds the statutory standards of the DfE’s early career framework. Many of our ECTs go on to build successful careers at Grey Court.
Ongoing Teacher Training
We actively encourage staff to continue their professional development. This could be through courses provided by the Wandle Teaching School hub, through our in-house training and learning sessions, or through more formal routes such as the national professional qualifications.
Initial Teacher Training
As part of the Grey Court teaching alliance we co-ordinate placements for trainee teachers in schools across south west London and Surrey. Each year we work closely with universities and the Department for Education (DfE) to place post graduate (PGCE) and School Direct applicants either in our own, or in other local schools.
Training School
As a training school we value the continuous development of our staff and offer a full range of professional training opportunities including in-house and cross-MAT CPD and national leadership programmes.
