About Ormiston Teacher Training.
At Ormiston Teacher Training, we believe teaching isn’t just a profession – it’s a passion, a journey, and a chance to make a lasting impact. Our school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) programme, developed in partnership with the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), immerses aspiring teachers in real classrooms from day one. Supported by experienced mentors and weekly core training, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and experience needed to thrive in the classroom.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a career-changer, or a professional looking to advance in teaching, Ormiston Teacher Training equips you with the tools to make a difference.
