It’s that time of year again ✈️🇫🇮 Torch SCITT is heading to Finland to explore the world-renowned Finnish education system. From pupil wellbeing to teacher autonomy and innovative classroom practice, we’re excited to learn, reflect, and bring fresh ideas back to our training and schools at home. Follow along as we soak up the learning (and maybe some snow ❄️👀). @TorchSCITT @nova_people #TorchSCITT #FinlandVisit #TeacherTraining #GlobalEducation #LearningBeyondBorders #FinnishEducation

Our trainees had an amazing zoom meet -up with our international placement school. Next stop: Finland- where they will be heading to Jyväskylä Teaching Training School to teach, learn, and soak up the Finnish approach to education. Such an incredible opportunity to see great practice in action. @torchscitt Edited · 8m

We’re celebrating the brilliant enrichment our trainees bring to schools. One standout is Building Confidence and Joy Through Music, a blog by our primary trainee Jess Dove, who’s been leading a choir at @firbeckacademy and helping children find their voice in the most joyful way.
