Geography.

Introduction.

Emily’s vision is for you to leave our SCITT programme as an outstanding practitioner in Geography. She will work closely with your placement school mentors to ensure that you are provided with the best possible opportunities to work across all year groups and are exposed to some of the best teachers and leaders across our partner schools. In addition, Emily will ensure that each of our subject sessions engages you, excites you and challenges you. All she asks in return is that you give this journey 100% and she will support you every step of the way!
