On Friday 1st July 2022 Barr Beacon SCITT hosted its annual celebration event to recognise achievements of this year’s cohort of trainee teachers and to mark the first of many milestones in their teaching careers. This year was particularly special as it saw our first cohort of primary trainee teachers successfully reach the end of their programme and leave us as qualified teachers. Dame Maureen Brennan, Chief Executive of Matrix Academy Trust, opened the ceremony with a speech. Sally Miner, Executive Headteacher of Ryders Hayes Primary School congratulated all trainees for their determination and achievements. SCITT Leaders, Headteachers and Professional Mentors from our partnership gave messages of congratulations and thanks for the trainees’ work in their schools.
We are particularly proud of the fact that for the sixth year in a row, 100% of those who completed the course have been recommended to the Department for Education (DfE) for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). All of us at Barr Beacon SCITT are incredibly proud of the achievements of our trainees and we would like to wish them every success in their roles as Early Career Teachers in September.
