Train to teach in
History

Leeds SCITT aims to get you into the classroom quickly to learn with a ‘hands on’ approach and to become an experienced practitioner quickly.  You will continue to develop your excellent subject knowledge and will be taught how to develop pupils’ historical understanding such as significance, cause and consequence, change and continuity, chronological understanding and source analysis through a wide variety of techniques and strategies.

This course offers a unique opportunity to develop your experience in dynamic and supportive school environments, whilst allowing you to establish your own style of teaching.

From the History ITT School Lead Tutor

We train History teachers who are inspirational and not afraid to take risks and try out new ideas.  If you can inspire, enthuse, challenge and encourage young people then we want to hear from you.

Placements

Carr Manor Community School enjoys a strong reputation in the local area with clear focus on the pupils and a strong community ethos.  Our previous History trainees have all achieved employment within West Yorkshire, across the country and abroad.  Many have gone on to become middle leaders within the first 2 years of their teaching career.  Many of our past trainees are now mentors of our current trainees, contributing to their own professional development as teachers.

In addition to your lead school placement, you can be placed within two of our additional partnership schools to give you contrasting placements.
