Train to Teach at Waterside Academy
At Waterside Academy, we are proud to work in partnership with West Essex SCITT to help train the next generation of primary school teachers.
We are passionate about supporting future teachers as they begin their journey into the profession and develop the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to inspire children and make a positive difference in schools.
Through our partnership with West Essex SCITT, trainee teachers benefit from high-quality school-based training, expert mentoring and the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience within a supportive and inclusive primary school environment.
Whether you are considering a career change, are about to graduate, or have always dreamed of becoming a teacher, initial teacher training could be the perfect next step.
Teaching is a rewarding and varied career where no two days are the same. As a teacher, you can:
- Inspire children to achieve their full potential
- Make a lasting difference to young people’s lives
- Develop specialist skills and leadership opportunities
- Join a profession that is creative, challenging and fulfilling
West Essex SCITT is an Ofsted Outstanding provider and delivers high-quality Primary Initial Teacher Training “on your doorstep” and supports trainees throughout their training year.
The programme is looking for people who:
- Hold a degree
- Have a passion for education
- Want to inspire and support young people
Training places are available to start from September 2026.
