Painsley Catholic College School Direct Consortium Thank you for your interest in our School Direct places available for teacher training 2017-18. Painsley Catholic College is an outstanding 11-18 academy in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Painsley Catholic College School Direct consortium is a group of very friendly, supportive schools, passionate about creating the next generation of teachers. Painsley Catholic College became a National Teaching School in 2014 and is one of only 3 National Maths Hubs in the West Midlands. We work in partnership with 3 universities (Birmingham City, Manchester Metropolitan and the University of Derby) and KNSPS, the Keele and North Staffordshire Primary SCITT (school centre initial teacher training) for primary training. As a consortium, we aim to provide high quality, school based initial teacher training. We believe our provision ensures trainees feel fully prepared for life in the classroom and a career in education. The schools work closely with the partner universities and SCITT to ensure that our Schools Direct students gain their Teaching Qualification giving them qualified teacher status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). You will experience placements in 2 of our consortium schools throughout the year, as well as opportunities to visit the other schools for educational and professional studies. There may also be opportunities to visit our partner special school for short placements. All our staff are exceptionally skilled and passionate practitioners and you are welcome to visit us to discuss your chosen career. Painsley Multi-Academy: 2|Page

Haywood Academy What is School Direct? School Direct allows participants the opportunity to work closely with schools to gain their Teaching Qualification. Schools or groups of schools work in partnership, in many cases with local HEI providers, to develop a training programme that suits the needs of their trainees and the local education context.

Our School Direct Programme is delivered in partnership with the University of Derby, Birmingham City University, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Keele University and North Staffordshire Primary SCITT . On completion of your training year, you will be awarded a PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status and 60 maters level credits.

How is the School Direct Programme funded?
There are two School Direct routes (School Direct and School Direct Salaried) which are very similar in
structure, but have different funding models, details of which can be found below:
If you secure a place on this route, the tuition fees for the programme will be £9000. These fees are paid to
the University (in a series of installments across the academic year). To support you with these payments,
there are a number of different funding options available to you.
You may be eligible for a tax-free bursary or scholarship to support your training. These funding streams
are dependent on the phase/subject in which you are training your qualifications. A high degree
classification will allow you access to extra bursary funding. A Masters or PhD could also ensure you
receive further funding. See page 15-18
In addition, you could also apply for a student loan to support your payments through student finance:
http://www.studentfinance.direct.gov.uk
More information can be found at: http://www.education.gov.uk/get-into-teaching
School Direct offers 2 types of training places:
School Direct (SD) training programme - open to all graduates, and is funded by tuition fees paid by
the trainee
School Direct (SDS) training programme (salaried) - for graduates with 3 or more years’ work
experience. The trainee is employed as an unqualified teacher by a school and their salary (around
£15,000pa) is subsidised and training costs for qualified teacher status (QTS) covered by the NCTL.
To apply for this route you need to have had 3 years ‘full time’ industry/work experience, which
does not have to have been in the education sector.
