Loreto Teaching School Alliance

Altrincham College is proud to be a partner with the Loreto Teaching School Alliance, which was formed to help dedicated and enthusiastic individuals to pursue a career in teaching.

 

What is School Direct?

School Direct is an innovative route into teaching which enables schools to take a leading role in initial teacher training through working in partnership with accredited ITT providers.  Loreto Grammar School currently has an alliance of 8 secondary schools and works in partnership with 2 university providers – Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Manchester.

Successful completion of School Direct leads to a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Manchester University offers additional M-Level credits which can be used towards a Master’s Degree, should you wish to do additional training at a later date.

Loreto Grammar School offers School Direct places in the following subjects at its alliance schools in the Trafford area: Chemistry, Computer Science, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, MFL (French with Spanish or German), Physics, Religious Education.

As with most school-centred initial teacher training programmes, there is a possibility that successful trainees will then go on to work in one of the schools in which they were trained – although this is not guaranteed.
