About The South Downs SCITT
The South Downs SCITT (school-centred initial teacher training) is a provider based in Worthing in West Sussex. It offers School Direct and core training in general primary education (five to 11 years) and secondary (11 to 16 years).
As a mature student, SCITT offered me a route into teaching which I felt comfortable with. Training whilst gaining first hand experience helped me to develop the confidence I needed and the weekly SCITT sessions underpinned my teaching practice. SCITT is an intensive course but the team were always supportive and able to offer advice throughout.
Our Partner Schools
The South Downs SCITT partners with over 20 primary and secondary schools across West Sussex.
