'I wanted to express my happiness for the exceptional support I've received during my time here. I have an incredible mentor, going above and beyond to organise my observations, practice sessions, and our mentor meetings. I also appreciate the warm welcome from the entire science team who have been very supportive. Thank you for providing such a supportive environment.'
Science trainee @ Parkfields School
'The university is very supportive and the intensive initial weeks were useful to build a solid foundation of pedagogical knowledge before starting at my placement school. I've enjoyed my first two weeks at Harlington Upper and I'm impressed by the consistent high standards set for the students by teachers across the school.'
Chemistry trainee @ Harlington Upper
'Things are great. I am learning so, so much from my mentor, the staff team, the children, and all things Beecroft. It is an inspirational school.'
Primary (3-7) trainee @ Beecroft Academy
'I am pleased with positivity from the university, all the lecturers are great and feel very at ease with them all. I am starting to feel settled; lots to master as all new to me, but really enjoying it.'
Maths trainee @ Redborne Upper
'The placement has been going well, and I feel confident at Beecroft. Volunteering there last academic year, have made me familiar with some of the staff and the environment. I have a great mentor and she has set clear targets for me and involved me in beneficial activities that are truly helping my teaching skills.'
