Bitterne Park Teaching School Alliance
The Bitterne Park Teaching School Alliance is a growing partnership comprising a diverse range of primary and secondary schools across Hampshire and Wiltshire which present dynamic and exciting training possibilities for those wishing to pursue a career in teaching. Our School Direct training programme is delivered in partnership with the Universities of Southampton and Winchester, and combines the best elements of a traditional university-led PGCE training model with the benefits of a school-centred approach. Our partner universities both have a long-established record of excellent initial teacher training, and successful completion of our course will lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with the opportunity to gain 60 Masters level credits.
