Victor Reynolds's Company Details
The OAKS is an Ofsted Outstanding (2016) and innovative SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training programme) which links Keele University and OAT (Ormiston Academies Trust) with a long established partnership of schools in five local authorities: Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent, Shropshire, Birmingham and Cheshire.The OAKS course is based in the beautiful green campus of Keele University and all trainees will qualify with a Keele University PGCE. This is a genuine partnership between the partnership schools, The OAKS and Keele University, which ensures relevant and up to date training, with a range of research activity which keeps Teacher Education in the forefront of educational thinking. The OAKS believes that it is an extremely caring and friendly organisation and will, at all times, provide help, encouragement and support, whenever it is needed.The trainee teacher is important to us and many support structures are in place for this challenging, but very rewarding course. It is the aim of The OAKS partnership of schools and University staff to produce highly motivated, creative, successful and enlightened teachers. Such teachers, we know, will be in great demand both in the local region and nationally.Ours is an innovative and intensive one year course during which trainees will complete both the Teaching Standards, gaining QTS certification and obtain a Keele University PGCE at either Level 6 or 7.We believe that we provide a course that is both supportive and enjoyable, with outstanding success rates (see below) well above the national average for the Initial Teacher Training sector.
