As a school we work with Wildern Partnership (in association with i2i Teaching Partnership*) as one of our local training partners and aim to offer teaching opportunities across all key stages, allowing you complete immersion into the school environment. 


*Wildern Partnership is excited to announce from 2024/25 they will be a Lead Partner in a new collaboration with i2i Teaching Partnership.  i2i is Ofsted rated outstanding and is a well established specialist secondary accredited training provider based at Weydon School. Wildern Partnership as a Lead Partner, will be offering high quality secondary teacher training across Hampshire and the wider area. 


Their programme offers quality teacher training across Hampshire. As a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme, this allows you to learn the craft of teaching in a school with children and experienced teachers and work as part of a team.

Each trainee teacher is supported in school by an experienced mentor along with access to dedicated teachers. Subject specialists support trainee teachers to develop their subject knowledge.
