Vita is a group of schools, lead by the Federated Schools of St Mary’s and St Saviour’s, who are working in partnership with Goldsmiths University offering School Direct, a school-led route into teaching.
This new path into teaching is a way to gain the qualifications and practical skills you need to become a teacher. It allows those who have just finished a degree, or have been working in a career for many years to combine teacher training at Goldsmiths with doing and learning on the job. Successful completion leads to a PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Vita is Latin for ‘life’ and all the schools in our Schools Direct group are committed to lifelong learning, for our pupils, staff and any trainees who work with us. We look forward to supporting our Schools Direct trainees in their journey to becoming outstanding teachers. Please take a look at the websites of the schools who will offer placements as part of our group and see the wonderful work we are all doing with the children in our care.
