We are delighted to announce that Christine Wager, Director of the Colchester Teacher Training Consortium (CTTC), has been elected as the Regional Chair for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in the Eastern Region.

In this role, Christine will lead the regional ITT provider network, which brings together accredited training providers from across the region to collaborate, support one another, and share best practice. As Regional Chair, she will also represent the Eastern Region at the national ITT Advisory Group (ITTAG), providing expert operational advice to the Department for Education (DfE) and helping to shape future developments in teacher training policy and provision.

Christine’s appointment reflects her deep commitment to high-quality teacher education and her strong leadership within the sector. Through this role, she will help strengthen communication between providers and the DfE, offer feedback on emerging policies, and ensure that the unique needs and perspectives of schools and trainees across the Eastern Region are heard.

Christine looks forward to making a valuable contribution to the development of teacher training at both a regional and national level.

Written by Webmaster on . Posted in CTTC News.

Colchester Teacher Training Consortium (CTTC) recently hosted its annual End of Course Celebration Evening, marking the achievements of this year’s cohort of trainee teachers. Held at Colchester County High School for Girls, the event brought together trainees, mentors, tutors, and school partners for an evening of recognition, reflection, and celebration.

The evening highlighted the hard work and dedication shown by trainees across both primary and secondary programmes, with heartfelt speeches from programme leaders and guest speakers applauding their growth, resilience, and commitment to the teaching profession.

Certificates were presented to all trainees, with special recognition given to those who had gone above and beyond during their training year. Guests were also treated to a showcase of trainee projects, classroom innovations, and reflections on school-based experiences.

CTTC Director Christine Wager said, “It has been a privilege to see our trainees develop into confident, reflective professionals. We are incredibly proud of each of them and the positive impact they are already having in classrooms across the region.”

The celebration concluded with a toast to the future, as many of the newly qualified teachers prepare to take up their first posts in schools across Essex, Suffolk, and beyond.

Congratulations to all graduates of 2024–25 – your journey in education is only just beginning!
