About us


"Join us, and be the future of education"
Welcome from Anna Richards
I am delighted that you are considering a career in teaching. In my view, it is the best job in the world – and now more than ever we need inspirational teachers joining our profession to inspire and support the next generation. Join us and be the future of the profession.
The depth and strength of our partnership with schools across Suffolk and Norfolk means that we train our trainees to be part of the whole teaching profession rather than training them to teach in just one type of school. We believe it is vitally important to give trainees the fullest experience while training, and I invite you to read some of our alumni feedback for a flavour of philosophy and quality of delivery.

Anna Richards,
Executive Leader
Welcome
Our Context
We are delighted to welcome you to Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT
We are a dynamic, high-quality, well established teacher training provider which offers a range of school-based routes into teaching. If you are considering a career in teaching, then we cannot wait to meet you.
We're proud of our profession and are privileged to be able to work with so many inspirational trainees as they start their journey to become excellent teachers and future school leaders. No day is ever the same and the rewards of working with young people are incredibly hard to top!
Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT was first launched in 1999 with a cohort of three primary trainees
Over the years the organisation has developed and has gone from strength to strength. We now train well over 200 trainees each year across the primary and secondary age phases which makes us one of the largest SCITTs in the country.
In October 2019, we celebrated our 20th birthday. We were proud to be joined by author Tom Sherrington and CEO of the Chartered College of Teaching, Dame Alison Peacock, as keynote speakers, as well as lots of past colleagues and trainees
Each year our 200 trainees will teach and make a difference to nearly 10,000 pupils across both counties.
To take it a step further, in the last 20 years Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT has trained over 3,000 teachers – and those teachers have taught well over 1,000,000 pupils!
