Katie made the leap from working in a school to training to be a teacher, read on to hear what she has to say…

After working at The Cherwell School, Oxford for 10 years, last year I finally took the plunge and started my teacher training with Oxfordshire Teacher Training SCITT.  I can safely say it was the best decision of my life.  I am now teaching year 4 at an Oxfordshire Primary School and absolutely love it!  Having supported students, in a wide variety of different subjects, over the years at Cherwell I have observed so many great teachers.  I feel this has helped me hugely, with developing into the teacher I am becoming today.  The teacher training experience was absolutely fantastic!  I learnt so much from the combination of learning in a placement school setting, combined with the exceptional training from the OTT SCITT.  I would highly recommend this route to anyone, who may be considering teaching as a career.
