Who are Inspiring Leaders?
Inspiring Leaders are an Outstanding provider of Initial Teacher Education.

Leadership of the SCITT
Leadership and management of the partnership is outstanding. In the two years of operation, it has secured outstanding outcomes for trainees. The SCITT director and the professional tutors are highly skilled, dedicated and relentless in their pursuit of excellence. They are determined to ensure that provision is of the highest quality and that all trainees meet the teachers’ standards at the highest level.
Inspiring Leaders Training Programme
The training programme is first class. Specialists, including Headteachers, senior leaders and specialist leaders of education (SLEs), are involved in the delivery. Trainees gain a multiplicity of opportunities to develop as practitioners, including in a range of differing, often challenging, school contexts. Trainees and NQTs said that their training was thorough and of extremely high quality.
Personalised Support for Each Trainee
Trainees receive outstanding-quality, highly tailored support in response to their emerging needs. This ensures that trainees experiencing difficulties are identified and then supported quickly, and those who are excelling are stretched and challenged effectively.
Quality Mentor Support
Trainees receive high-quality mentoring from their learning coach, including precise and targeted feedback against the teachers’ standards. They work closely with their classroom mentor and, as a result, are quickly able to assimilate into the life of the school, comply with key policies and quickly cultivate strong relationships with staff and pupils.
Outstanding School Based Training
The highly practical, school-based nature of the training is valued by trainees because it means they learn from the very best teachers’ practice and are given the time to apply their learning, academic research and training in their own classroom situations.
Want to know more about the Primary Course?
Our Primary courses embed a blend of practice, pedagogy and reflexivity to ensure you have the highest quality training year.
Trainees become reflective and adaptive to the evolving nature of teaching, ensuring the highest quality experience for their pupils through the constant and enhancing opportunities to apply their learning.
Applicants can choose from three courses. Primary 5-11, Primary 3-7, or Primary 5-11 with Maths.
Our school based training allows trainees to be immersed, in all aspects of school life, from the moment trainees arrive on the course. Trainees will be introduced to their host school before meeting the children, allowing them time to build positive and important relationships with key members of staff who will support them throughout their teacher training year.
From the moment trainees enter school on the first day they will be treated as a member of the staffing team, allowing them to build strong relationships with those in their class and around school. Through the support offered from their Class Mentor and Learning Coach, trainees will gradually take on additional responsibilities and be given more freedom to explore and apply their creativity. As trainees become more confident and independent in their teaching teaching they will begin to experience the gratification and the joy that comes from children learning what they have taught them.

Our SCITT leaders work tirelessly to ensure that all trainees get a high quality, personalised experienced and excellent support. Working closely with our students throughout the course and beyond, taking pride in supporting many through to leadership roles.
