What do our trainees say?
Quotes from Voyage Trainees:
"I learnt a lot of things about myself over my SCITT year and I can now say I feel I am a lot more confident person to the one who arrived in September. I am grateful for the support I had from my voyage team both personally and professionally. I learnt a lot from this course, my mentor, and my tutors, and I am still using most of what I learnt in my day-to-day practice today."
"Having initially been apprehensive about applying for teacher training, I am so glad that I decided to 'take the plunge' and train with Voyage Education Partnership and Lincolnshire SCITT! From day one the support I received from my School Based Mentor, Hub Lead and Programme Tutor was fantastic and I felt like everyone involved is committed to each and every trainee, no matter their start points on their teaching journey. The fact you are in school from the beginning really helped to develop my confidence and the training sessions really supplemented my classroom practice. I also felt that the training provider valued my feedback and took it on board to ensure the training experience was a positive one!"
“The relationship I have formed with my mentor is great; she is always there to support me. Lincolnshire ITT and my Voyage Lead mentor provide so much support. I do feel like if I ever have a problem or even just need a char, someone is there for me.”
