Welcome to Essex and Thames Primary SCITT
Essex and Thames Primary SCITT is one of the oldest teacher training SCITTs in the country and has been training the very best primary school teachers for Essex primary schools for nearly 20 years. We have a truly excellent reputation, and all our graduates get jobs upon completion of the course every year. In fact, the majority are snapped up by headteachers before they even start the summer term!

Why choose our School Direct Primary PGCE?
Our School Direct PGCEs are school centred initial teacher training courses on which the majority of your time is spent in Essex primary schools giving you the opportunity to learn alongside experienced teachers from day 1. With placements in two or more schools and a range of additional opportunities allowing you to gain additional qualifications in sports coaching and Personal Social Health and Education, you get a wealth of opportunities that make you stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs.
This practical Essex teacher training is combined with the taught theory of education in formal lectures, so that you understand WHY you are doing certain things, HOW the children make progress and WHEN to use your reflective skills to look deeper into educational queries.
It is the assimilation of theory and extensive school practice that makes our graduates highly confident, competent and successful and it is why our PGCE trained NQTs are snapped up with early job offers.
Where are our Essex teacher training bases for PGCE lectures?
The taught part of the PGCE requires you to attend lectures in one of two centres – Runwell Community Primary School in Wickford (which is our main SCITT base) or at Edwards Hall Primary School in the outskirts of Southend. At both venues the PGCE course is taught in large, sunlit classrooms offering the latest technology. Your base will be chosen based on where you live so that students attend their nearest centre. Lectures start at 9.30am and although they can go on until 4pm, most finish earlier.
