TEACHING APPRENTICESHIPS
Make a difference: train to teach
We aim to train the next generation of outstanding Bradford primary school teachers. Our schools are committed to providing the highest standard of education for young people in the Bradford District. We are keen to recruit trainee teachers who share the same commitment and a real passion for working with younger children. If you share our vision for education, we want to hear from you. We will provide training of the highest quality, delivered by inspiring practitioners in a diverse and stimulating range of schools and settings.
We deliver a bespoke training package which will make the most of your knowledge and skills. After a year’s successful training, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). As an SCITT, we are committed to helping you develop professionally, well beyond your training and Newly Qualified Teacher year, by means of an extensive programme of Continuing Professional Development opportunities, including the opportunity to complete a full master’s degree.
The SCITT training programme is delivered in many great schools throughout the Bradford area. You will be training by listening to and observing inspiring practitioners. What’s more, you’ll get the opportunity to practise your skills in a safe and supportive classroom environment.

The cost of each test sat is approximately £100 (including VAT). Fees are payable, in full, upon booking. Bradford Birth to 19 SCITT will then charge a £25 admin fee on top of this to invigilate the test.
We also accept the following science equivalents:
