Teach Prospectus 2020-2021

A Multi Academy Trust It is the belief of the Multi Academy Trustees and staff that being a Multi Academy Trust enables us to create stronger partnerships and collaborate more for the benefit of our children and community. Trustees believe that, in order to meet the needs of our children and our community, having a shared strategic vision is a powerful method of ensuring standards are raised, and that our four schools are effective and viable organisations, particularly in a time of financial constraint. The TEACH Multi Academy Trust provides a means of bringing Canford Heath schools together, serving a common purpose and providing continuity in learning from Early Years through to the end of the Primary age range. We build good relationships with our local Secondary schools and pre- schools, aiming to help our children transfer smoothly into the next phase of their education. Poole SCITT is an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) provision which sits under the TEACH Trust umbrella. It is a Schools-Centered Initial Teacher Training Institution leading to a Post-Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) in Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status. SCITT has been created through partnerships between participating local primary schools, including our Teach Trust schools, and Kingston University, to offer initial teacher training, at primary school level, for up to 32 suitably qualified graduates, per year.
