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.
