Trainee Support
Trainee Support
We provide support to all our trainees, along with guidance and advice necessary to become an outstanding professional
Support comes from a wide variety of different professionals within The Learning Alliance, external organisations and Liverpool John Moores University, including:
- the Head of Programme based within the Trust
- a Liaison Tutor who will visit in placement for tutorials and lesson observations and lead group subject sessions, usually weekly. The tutor will also work closely to support and provide a link between the programme and the Mentor Coaches in our partner schools
- individual Subject Mentors at each placement school for everyday mentoring
- a Professional Mentor at each placement school
- Liverpool John Moores University tutors and external professional leaders for the academic modules
Liverpool John Moores University
A major advantage of studying for a School Direct PGCE with QTS with us is the support that Liverpool John Moores University provides to all our trainees
The University offers advice through its Student Services team on finances such as access to hardship loans, Careers Guidance, help finding somewhere to live, or a confidential one-on-one with a qualified counsellor.
Support is available for students with a disability or specific learning difficulty (SpLD) e.g. dyslexia, provided through the University’s Inclusive Services team who have highly experienced staff members.
In addition, there’s an impressive Library Service available to ensure all students get the best out of the extensive information resources and excellent learning facilities.
