About Us Welcome

Why did you choose to train with BPD TTP?
I had already been accepted onto the Ringwood school teacher training course, but I had heard the scitt had a good reputation. I was hoping my placements would be local as I had three young children.

What experiences did you most benefit from?
Being at two different/ opposite schools, one private and small/ local, and one a normal large comp. Both with different aspects of art offered on the curriculum.

What are your future plans?
I currently work p/t at two schools. One local as an art teacher teaching primary and secondary art. The other in Southampton as a SEN art teacher. My plans are to use therapy in art to support those with mental health needs. I am doing an art therapy course for art teachers called ‘articulate’ in sept online. I would like to introduce more therapy with art and sen support into mainstream schools. Also still thinking about doing an MA in art therapy.

It had a welcoming friendly atmosphere and was close to home

Having the in person training sessions which gave me the opportunity to meet other trainees, share our experiences and make life long friends.

Stay in my current role with a look towards moving into a pastoral role, something that I discovered I was truly passionate about during my training year with BPD SCITT

Stay in teaching. I will look to move schools after my ECT and hopefully move into a pastoral role focusing on behaviour and safeguarding.
