"I am so glad I have opted for a SD QTS course; Our professional studies courses have been delivered by a range of highly accomplished teachers; it is so reassuring to know that after they have taught us, our tutors are straight back into schools and work on the 'front line' so to speak. Additionally, I have found that my relationship with my in-school mentor has been a valuable support tool. Due to our extra time in schools this half term, the fact that my mentor is such an approachable individual with a palpable passion for his subject, as well as a record of truly excellent teaching practice has meant that I have constant access to high quality support and advice, with practical teaching activities as well as discussions that grapple with academic theory and subject specific debates"

‘Most valuable was time to talk to others about the leadership development project. And talking about the differences between being a leader and a manger.’

‘’I realised that I was ‘managing’ rather than ‘leading’. A new perspective.’

‘Most valuable for me: the role play, video clips and discussion.’

‘Really made me consider the vision and values I hold personally and how I want to inspire that in others.’

.... made me feel very welcome and part of Bottisham from the start.

Especially amazing to see some brilliant, brilliant teaching.

This week has been very well organised and I have felt extremely welcome both in my faculty and in the school as a whole. Thank you.

Interesting, entertaining and thought-provoking!

I learnt how to get my voice across. Having an idea that I would like to see & actually seeing it through

A lot of very useful insight into the world of leadership.

Have really enjoyed the whole process. Each session gives me a refocus & fills me with enthusiasm.
