Here are some key quotes from our latest Ofsted report:

The strong leadership and management of the partnership which has secured good, and sometimes outstanding, outcomes for trainees. The current SCITT manager is rightly held in very high regard by staff and trainees across the partnership.
The absolute commitment of leaders to address inequality. They ensure that trainees have an expert grasp on the strategies required to address the barriers to learning for many of the most disadvantaged pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.
Leaders’ self-evaluation is accurate. School improvement planning is high quality. Governance arrangements are robust. There is evident leadership capacity and a commitment to ensure that the provider produces the very best teachers for pupils within the East Midlands and for the city of Derby in particular.
The strong engagement of schools within the partnership is evident in the ambition and skills they demonstrate. High-quality trainees are recruited, trained well and then carefully supported in their first year of teaching.
The provider has successfully ensured that very many trainees have completed their training, secured teaching posts and then have continued within the profession. SCITT leaders are fully committed to helping to meet the local need for high-quality teachers.
The trainees benefit from high-quality bespoke training. Regular opportunities exist for their progress to be reviewed and for the programme to be adapted if needed. Much happens to ensure that individual needs are successfully met.
The subject and professional training is good. Trainees are taught well and equipped to plan and deliver effective lessons. They are extremely reflective about their practice, have high standards of professionalism and exhibit a strong moral conviction that all pupils, including the most disadvantaged, should achieve highly.
