ITT provision
At Immanuel College we are committed to nurturing and developing colleagues who are entering a career in secondary education.
We are proud to host trainees from a variety of local and national ITT providers, ensuring the highest quality support is given to all trainees.
The BDAT ITT program offered as part of the BDAT trust; provides hands on experience. As a trainee you can expect to experience teaching in 2 contrasting secondary schools, your practice will be rooted in pedagogy and research, implemented within the school's context. Every trainee will have a subject specialist mentor, trainees have a dedicated hour of one-to-one support where methods of deliberate practice are used to support ITT development from which ITT trainees can create a learning environment where students flourish and children show perseverance, develop character and have hope.
Our ITT CPD program is bespoke, meeting the needs of the ITT cohort, providing a context for Immanuel College in addition to supporting the strengths and areas of development highlighted by experienced mentors.

In order to support our Early Career Teachers (ECT’s) we have implemented the 2 year Early Career Framework. The ECT program is led by an experienced Assistant Head teacher, ECT’s study pedagogy with the support of an online provider and benefit from an in-school coach, weekly coaching sessions and observations provide feedback from experienced teachers along with methods of deliberate practice to develop ECT’s to create a positive climate for learning where all children can flourish. Subject specialist coaches also develop the ECT’s subject knowledge, measuring success against the Teacher standards.
Our ECT CPD program provides context for Immanuel college, our program is tailored to the needs of each trainee, our 2-year program develops colleagues with career stage relevant pedagogy and practical developments, all CPD sessions are delivered by experienced and highly skilled colleagues.
