Welcome to the i2i Teaching Partnership
The i2i Teaching Partnership is an Ofsted outstanding school centred initial teacher training (SCITT) provider.
Our Reigate Training Centre was opened in September 2020 to provide more local training opportunities for potential teachers. Each year, the centre welcomes both recent graduates and career changers onto our highly supportive secondary teacher training programme. The dynamic curriculum is tailored to meet your individual needs as a trainee teacher and leads to both QTS and PGCE qualifications.

Our Reigate Training Centre is based at Reigate School on Pendleton Road in Reigate, a historic market town nestled at the foot of the North Downs in south east Surrey. Situated in the London commuter belt just off the A217 south of the M25, our Reigate Training Centre is a short distance from both Redhill and Earlswood stations on the London-Brighton line..
"I wanted to train with i2i because they have a such an incredible reputation for turning out great teachers but also working with brilliant schools and I wanted to learn from the best"
Reigate trainee
As an i2i Reigate Centre Trainee, each week you will spend one day at the Reigate training centre and four days in your placement school (for the first six weeks of the programme you will spend 2 days a week at the training centre and 3 days in your placement school).
Your weekly Pedagogical and Professional Studies interactive sessions will teach you the theory of teaching (pedagogy), as well as develop your critical thinking, analytical and research skills, and are a great opportunity to build your support network with your fellow trainees.
From the very start of the i2i programme you will be in your placement school making a difference. From shadowing and observing at the start to gradually taking responsibility for planning and delivering lessons, you will be implementing the theoretical knowledge taught during your weekly professional studies training days. Your main placement school is selected based on a number of factors, including most importantly where you live, and the availability of a suitable Mentor to support and guide you.
