From the decision to train with us, we offer tailored support through quality career development for individuals - from ITT into school leadership. We believe that our teachers and support staff are integral to our success, and those delivering outstanding current classroom practice are best placed to train the teachers of the future.

Our training, delivered by outstanding teachers and specialist leaders, has been designed to ensure that individuals have access to professional and tailored training and development - enabling them to improve their practice at any point in their career.

We are proud to work as a delivery partner for Lincolnshire SCITT to provide a high-quality teacher training experience for student teachers in our region. Our trainee teachers join a team of staff who are fully committed to delivering the highest quality teaching and learning to children in Lincolnshire.

Our experienced team:

- Works with providers to deliver an exciting and effective programme which gives confidence and provides high-quality entrants into the teaching profession.

- Negotiates placements throughout our school partners for trainees, liaising with schools to ensure trainees, schools and children enjoy a rewarding experience.

- Mentors and supports each individual trainee throughout their programme to ensure they have quality and tailored training - and emerge as quality practitioners, ready for a successful career in the profession.

- Supports trainees with their next step of securing a permanent classroom position and fulfilling their ambitions at the beginning of their teaching career. In 2021/22, 16 trainees were recruited to start the programme - with 16 successfully completing the training and being granted Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Supporting Early Careers Teachers In Our Region

Voyage began its partnership with the LEAD Teaching School Hub via the Early Career Framework (ECF) Partnership Agreement in September 2021, as an appropriate delivery partner for the ECF and to facilitate development of a Lincolnshire-based Early Careers Teachers (ECTs) region.

The partnership work includes:

- Monitoring of support – checking that ECTs are receiving their statutory entitlements and that regard is had to the statutory guidance. Also, to provide ECF fidelity checks - ensuring schools are supported to provide ECTs with an ECF-based induction.

- Monitoring of assessment – making the final decision as to whether the ECT has satisfactorily met the Teachers’ Standards 5, based on the headteacher’s recommendation. (cont.)
