Do you know someone who is interested in training to teach? Encourage them to apply to the King Edward’s Consortium (KEC).KEC is the no.1 school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) provider in the country (The Good Teacher Training Guide, 2017). Founded in 2004, it is a well-established group of 23 excellent secondary schools in the Birmingham area. The strength of the partnership lies in its diversity, longevity and experience – a mixture of comprehensive, selective, independent, mixed, single-sex, 11-16 and 11-18 schools.
KEC trainees are in school from day one, there at the start of the academic year and treated as members of staff. They are part of the fabric of their schools – in addition to teaching their subjects, they become form tutors and contribute to wider school life. For five weeks at the start of the spring term, they also have a second, shorter placement in a contrasting school.
KEC is a small, close-knit community. The trainees gather weekly at the KEC training centre at Camp Hill. Each cohort forms both a strong professional network and lasting friendships. KEC and school-based staff care about the trainees as individuals and want the very best for each and every one of them. KEC is relentless in its pursuit of excellence; the training and pastoral care are outstanding.
The trainees come to the programme from all walks of life – high-flying graduates with a clear commitment to a career in teaching who have the potential to become outstanding teachers and future leaders. They are highly professional and knowledgeable, generous and passionate – passionate both about their subjects and about the power education has to change lives. From the very start of the programme, they make a huge difference to the children they work with and are highly-sought-after for employment once they qualify.
For more information, prospective applicants can register here for a prospectus and a call back from the KEC Registrar, Ruth Penn.
