SWIFT Teacher Training Campuses

We partner with trusts and schools across the region to form a  training network of campuses. Our partnership is organised into five area campuses, each with a primary and secondary site. Campuses are centres of excellence that provide placements, support and host Intensive Training and Practice weeks. In each campus area there are a range of high-quality schools for short and long placements.

When you start your training with us you will be part of one of our local campus communities. Campuses will provide you with your main pastoral care and support. They will manage your short and long placements, wherever possible, in local campus schools, and support our programme of Intensive Training and Practice weeks. Campuses provide high quality teaching environments throughout our region. Through your campus, you work closely with other trainee teachers in the area, forming an close-knit community of learning.

To learn more about our blended, flexible delivery models for your theoretical training and subject knowledge sessions please visit the course overview page.
