In addition, trainees will examine GCSE and A Level history teaching and enrichment in history.

Throughout the course we will closely monitor and support trainee progress to enable a thorough understanding of core teaching knowledge and principles underpinned by the Core Content Framework (CCF) and Teachers’ Standards. Trainees reflect on progress on a weekly basis supported by an in-school mentor and ITT lead, culminating in half termly reports produced jointly with mentors.
