Our Programme

School Based Training Sessions

Over the course trainees participate in active tutor-led sessions to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of teaching.

Our programme blends the best of school-based teacher training with high quality input and support from Winchester University. Students are based for teaching practice in two different schools but will visit all the primary settings in the Godalming Learning Partnership whilst receiving specialist support every step of the way.
