What our 2024/2025 trainees have to say about the ITT programme? 

Nikita has chosen to pursue a career in education, inspired by family members who are already dedicated teachers. Following in their footsteps, Nikita is now training to become a primary school teacher:

“Embarking on my PGCE journey has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
The challenges have sharpened my skills, the support from my Year 4 team
has been invaluable, and each day brings new opportunities to grow as an educator.
For anyone considering this path, know that the rewards
are immense—both in personal growth and the ability
to shape future generations. If you’re passionate
about making a difference, this is the adventure you’ve been waiting for!” 

Jibran, a former Langley Academy student, previously worked as an accountant. He is now bringing his expertise in finance to the classroom, applying his skills to inspire and educate students as a maths teacher. 

“Interaction with students is the thing I am enjoying the most…
The behaviour of students is outstanding and drives me every day
to deliver lessons to the best of my ability.”
