We all got into the festive spirit at the Hub today! The morning kicked off with a Christmas trivia quiz and placement 2 expectations, then we ended the day with a very informative session on Autism and ADHD.

Mentor moderation meetings got off to a flying start this afternoon with one half of the primary dream team! We are incredibly lucky to work with such dedicated and conscientious mentors at Forest Way ITT. Thank you all for your fantastic work this term - you are fabulous! 👏👏

It’s always lovely to catch up with our wonderful Forest Way ITT alumni! Matt and Martin (second year ECTs) continue to do fantastic work in Year 2 and Year 5. We are very proud of you both 👏👏

We were incredibly proud of our amazing Class of 2024/25 as they celebrated their graduation yesterday! We are so pleased for you all and wish you continued success on your ECT journeys 👏🥳

A relaxing end to a lovely day with some pointillism and mural work.

Getting a bit dirty tackling the night-line! Well done everyone! You definitely deserve your lunch👌👏

Every day is different when teaching Primary so why not train to teach with us at Forest Way ITT? Here’s Hannah enjoying her Mermaids & Pirates Day and here’s Peter ‘enjoying’ getting gunged at the Colour Run! There’s something for everyone on our Primary programme!

Pippa had a great time helping us out with ITT interviews this morning at Whitwick St John the Baptist! 🦴

Our Beginning Teachers take every opportunity to throw themselves into the wider life of their placement schools. Izai has had a great time on the Year 2 residential to Sherwood Forest this week! Well done, Izai! You will be ready for a good rest tonight!
