Train to Teach
At Blue Coat Church of England Academy, we live out our school motto Respice Prospice (Look Back, Look Forward) by establishing the ‘Blue Coat Family’ as a harmonious learning community grounded in the distinctly Christian values established in biblical teaching and the foundation of the school through its long and proud history. A strong Christian ethos underpins all the work of the Academy, with a strong emphasis on developing faith, including for those who are not from a Christian background. Five key values underpin the school’s ethos and all aspects of its work: wisdom, endurance, service, kindness and hope.
Our vision is centred on achieving the highest standards of achievement and aspiration for all students through the provision of a distinctive and inclusive Christian learning environment where the uniqueness of each individual is celebrated, nurtured and realised. Every member of the school community is encouraged to develop, flourish and achieve, and to become full contributors to society as confident, learning, adaptable and caring individuals.
We work collaboratively with local partner schools and Birmingham Newman University. Trainees have placements in two of our local partnership schools where they spend the majority of their training year. Trainees will develop their understanding and expertise through a mixture of classroom experience and research. All trainees will access high levels of bespoke support and CPDL receiving input from both University experts and experienced teachers.
