It's been fantastic having all our trainees together this week for our intensive training and practice (ITAP) sessions during our central training days. They've been enhancing their understanding of key teaching principles in scaffolding and expert modelling, looking at real-life classroom examples and getting expert advice and guidance on how to support students from our experienced tutors. Building on their sessions at familiarisation in August, they also took part in their third Serbian session, stepping into the shoes of a language student to better understand what it feels like to learn a new language. We have loved seeing their enthusiasm, curiosity, and willingness to get stuck in, asking questions and picking up practical guidance to use in their classrooms. #teachlanguages #teachertraining #mfl

It was great to welcome Dr Joe Spence, CEO of The School Partnerships Alliance (S.P.A.), at Silverdale School yesterday. Furthering the partnership between independent and state schools across the UK is at the heart of The School Partnerships Alliance, and our National Specialist SCITTs, and it was great to have discussions exploring new ways to collaborate.
