The Warwickshire Early Years Hub (WEYH) is holding an information morning for anyone who is interested in finding out more about training to teach locally and gaining a Primary PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status and Early Years specialism.  

We are offering an opportunity for anyone who is exploring this route and interested in applying to the programme to attend an event on-site in a Maintained Nursery School.

You will have a tour around the school to see first-hand the day in a life of an Early Years teacher.  The WEYH Coordinator will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about how the course and placements work, criteria for applying and what the application process entails.

If you would like to attend, please email the WEYH Coordinator on Hutton.m2@welearn365.com or leave a message with the school office on 01827 794164. We can then allocate an appropriate timeslot for you. 

Why train with us?

The CREC School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme offers a one year full-time school-based route to becoming a primary teacher with an early years or early primary specialism and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Our core aim is to help you become a confident, knowledgeable and highly employable teacher with a passion for working with young children, to give them the best starting point in life, whatever their circumstances.

Our high-quality mentors and tutors have extensive practical experience and will help you succeed by offering consistent guidance and personalised support throughout the course.

Alongside the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), awarded by Teach First, this course also carries a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) awarded by Sheffield Hallam University.

Anyone interested in joining WEYH/CREC and the Teach First partnership to start their teacher training in September 2025 can find out more at https://warwickshireeyh.co.uk/itt/ or www.crec.co.uk/itt.

Applications are made through the DfE ‘Apply’ portal using the course code 2MZV.
