Warlingham School & Sixth Form College offers teacher training through our  SELA teacher training courses, which are designed as school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) routes and are a popular choice for those who hope to secure a role in the network of schools where they train.  

The SELA Teacher Training Programme is provided through the South East Learning Alliance of which we are a member school.  For 2023-2024, we have opportunities across a range of subjects, details of which are set out below.  Our SELA Teacher Training courses run for the duration of the academic year and result in qualified teacher status (QTS).  On completion, you will be awarded, or given the opportunity to undertake a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) and /or Master’s-level credits depending on whether you take the salaried or unsalaried route.

South East Learning Alliance

Why train with us? 

Warlingham School & Sixth Form College has a clear commitment to Initial Teacher Training (ITT).

We offer an opportunity to train to teach in a nurturing and safe environment; we value trainees and place importance on integrating them so they feel part of our staff team.  We provide bespoke, professional development for those undertaking ITT with us, which allows trainees to share experiences and knowledge with other trainees.  Our mentors are experienced and professional and take pride in developing trainees into successful teachers.  Trainees meet with mentors on a weekly basis but also work with other professionals to support the training.  As a school, we have a strong record of training teachers, often leading to permanent employment.
