Objective
To encourage more teachers in subjects where there is a particular shortage ie maths, physics and modern languages. GSA schools work in partnership with other state and independent schools to provide the National Mathematics and Physics SCITT (NMAPS) and the National Modern Languages SCITT (NMLS).
Training with the NMAPS or NMLS offers:
- unsalaried on-the-job training eligible for significant tax-free bursaries, scholarships and early career payments of up to £32k
- professional development and support to both QTS and PGCE
- pre-course residential induction (NMAPS only)
- six-week placement in a contrasting state school
- links to the National Subject Associations
- phased progression towards independent teaching of whole classes
