Graduate Teacher Programme
Saffron Walden and Comberton Training Schools are accredited as a provider of employment-based teacher training by the Training and Development Agency for Schools.
Saffron Walden and Comberton EBITT (Employment Based Initial Teacher Trainers) work with nine Partner Schools to provide Graduate Teacher training.
