Orwell Education Alliance is part of the Orwell Multi Academy Trust, an established multi-academy trust of 6 primary schools serving the community of Ipswich and the surrounding areas.
Trainees at Orwell Education Alliance follow the CTTC trainee curriculum and attend weekly sessions at our Ipswich hub, based at Halifax Primary School in Ipswich. Trainees occasionally also attend training sessions at the CTTC centre.
Southend ITT is a partnership of secondary schools in Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding area offering school centred initial teacher training in partnership with CTTC.
