*All 11–18 nominated courses will aim to develop competence to teach the chosen subject area at Key Stages 3 and 4 i.e. 11–16, which will be the focus of their assessment. We hope, however, to ensure all those on such courses who are interested and competent to teach post-16 will be enabled to do so and thereby enhance their career prospects. Similarly we hope to enable all 14–19 trainees to experience teaching at Key Stage 3 (11–14).
St Mary’s Primary and Secondary Initial Education programmes have been judged by OfSTED, the government department that regulates teacher training, to be ‘outstanding’ – the highest grade attainable in an OfSTED inspection.
The programmes were deemed to be outstanding for both ‘overall effectiveness’ and the ‘capacity for further improvement and/or sustaining overall quality’ following the inspection, which was conducted in March 2011.
