Our current trainees will be the last cohort training under the name, 'Portsmouth SCITT', as our name change announcement is coming next week!

Nothing will change about our high-quality course, our skilled team or the bespoke training we provide, but if you're applying to join us in September 2027, you will be looking for our new name!

Today marks the last day with our current cohort of trainees and it has been a pleasure to work with every one of these new teachers.

We always say it's a privilege to be able to train the next generation of teachers and we can't wait to hear how everyone gets on as they move into their new roles in September.

Good luck everyone and remember to keep in touch! 🎓🤩

At Portsmouth SCITT, we believe great learning happens when people feel they belong.

We don't always have all the answers, but we are committed to listening, learning and creating a culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

This Pride Month, we're celebrating the diversity of our communities and the importance of making space for every voice.

🌈 Happy Pride Month from Portsmouth SCITT.

Names matter.

They carry familiarity, consistency and trust, and we know that Portsmouth SCITT is a name many people recognise and value.

But our programme has grown. Our partnerships have developed. Our reach now extends beyond Portsmouth, and our offer is continuing to evolve.

That is why we are considering whether the time has come for a new name. One that better reflects who we are, where we work and the future of our teacher training partnership.

We would love to hear your views.

Please complete our short survey by Friday 19 June.

Ever wondered what centre-based training looks like for a primary trainee teacher?

One of our Portsmouth SCITT primary trainees has shared a little snapshot of her week in the centre, and it’s a brilliant reminder of just how varied teacher training can be.

From phonics, book moderation and science practicals, to adaptive teaching, professional conversations, pupil progress and a well-earned lunch at the Lido, no two days are quite the same.

Our centre-based weeks give trainees the time and space to build knowledge, practise key skills, reflect with expert colleagues and prepare for life back in the classroom.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, our trainees have been reflecting on the little things that help them stay well during a busy year of teacher training.

Wellbeing is not a one-off event, and it is not always about grand gestures. Sometimes it is the small, steady things that help make tougher moments feel a little lighter.

Here are some of the simple things our trainees do to look after themselves, recharge and keep going. We hope they inspire you to pause, breathe, and make time for your own little moments of wellbeing too.
