What is School Direct?
The School Direct programme allows schools to recruit and train their own teachers. It gives schools the freedom to:
- decide who they want to recruit and how
- decide which subjects they want to train someone in
- decide in which school phase (i.e. primary, secondary or middle-deemed) they want to train someone
- employ the teachers they have trained in their school or in a school to which they are linked
School Direct at Viking Academy Trust
Chilton Primary School, Ramsgate Arts Primary and Upton Junior School all offer School Direct placements, on the salaried and non-salaried route.
School Direct training will be delivered by experienced and highly skilled teachers and this will be enhanced by attendance at Canterbury Christchurch University for Core Subject Days.
The level of guidance and advice that trainees receive is of an exceptionally high standard and we pride ourselves in the successful relationships we foster with trainee teachers.
In addition to this you will be part of a strong team of trainees who will meet regularly to train, share experiences and build on good teaching practice through the Viking Academy Trust.
Why train with us?
School Direct at Viking Academy Trust provides school based learning opportunities with exceptional levels of support and guidance. We create an environment in which staff, pupils and trainee teachers all feel valued and supported and this leads to a school culture of enthusiasm, commitment and achievement.
The Partnership of schools comprises a mixture of large and small, urban primary schools. We provide a unique opportunity to experience a diverse and contrasting range of teaching and training. Our Teachers have a proven track record in training and professional development and all our trainees receive the highest level of continual support throughout their training. This covers all aspects of teaching life from behaviour management skills, subject knowledge, professional enrichment, AEN, inclusion and pastoral care. All trainees have the opportunity to work closely with an experienced mentor and will become part of the school ethos from the first day of entry.
School Direct at Viking Academy Trust works in partnership with Canterbury Christchurch University and Viking Academy Trust students can either work towards Qualified Teacher Status or to Postgraduate level.
