Curriculum (secondary)
The curriculum and structure of your Initial Teacher Training programme will vary according to your chosen training provider. All training programmes are carefully designed to develop the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required to become a successful secondary teacher.
While the content and delivery may differ between providers, trainees can expect a curriculum that combines subject-specific pedagogy, behaviour management, curriculum design, assessment, adaptive teaching, professional responsibilities and evidence-informed practice. Training is delivered through a blend of provider-led sessions, school-based experiences, observations of expert practitioners and practical classroom teaching.
At Acklam Grange School, we work closely with all of our partner providers to ensure trainees receive a high-quality, coherent training experience that complements their provider’s curriculum. Our experienced mentors and subject specialists help trainees translate theory into practice, enabling them to develop confidence, expertise and a strong foundation for a successful career in teaching.
Regardless of the route chosen, all trainees benefit from extensive school-based learning, personalised mentoring and opportunities to engage with the latest educational research and best practice, preparing them to meet the needs of all learners and thrive in the classroom.
