Aims

As our vision statement above indicates, Chelmsford County High School for Girls is committed to providing Initial Teacher Training (ITT) opportunities through the School Direct Programme. We work with a large group of schools and training providers to ensure that training experiences are vast and varied.

We are committed to training the teachers and school leaders of tomorrow and offer a positive and supportive training environment. All teacher training colleagues are supported by an in-school mentor and ITT coordinator. Moreover, we are proud to offer an excellent range of professional development opportunities, with our in-house Professional Studies programme informed by key elements of the Department for Education’s Core Content Framework for trainee teachers.
