Quotations From Former Trainees

Mr S R Llewelyn (PE Teacher Poole Grammar):
“Realistic, committed and thorough preparation for a rewarding career! The program is developed around personalised training needs in order to become an effective practitioner. Working daily in high performance departments ensures that you receive quality feedback whilst training on the job. You immediately feel part of the school community which helps develop relationships with colleagues and students alike.”
Miss E. Sturdy ( Art Teacher Poole High School) :
“The WSTP program allows you to gain fantastic expereince of working within a School, with all that entails both pastorally and within your subject area, whilst providing extremely high levels of support and mentoring throughout. Challenging, stimulating and a great preparation for life as an NQT!”
Mrs R Witcher (English Teacher Poole High School):
“The GTP scheme is a demanding, fast-paced and in-at-the-deep-end scheme, but in my view, is the best introduction to teaching I could have had. If you like to get stuck in straight away, this is the training for you!”
