Train to Teach with the i2i Reigate Training Centre
Our Programme Structure
As an i2i reigate Centre trainee, you’ll experience a dynamic blend of high-quality training and real classroom practice. Each week, you’ll spend one day at our Reigate Training Centre at Reigate School and four days in your placement school, giving you the perfect balance of theory and hands-on experience.
Expert Training
Your weekly Pedagogical and Professional Studies sessions are interactive, research-informed, and designed to build both your theoretical understanding of teaching and your practical skills. Through these sessions, you will deepen your knowledge of pedagogy, strengthen your analytical and critical thinking abilities, and develop the reflective habits essential for effective teaching.
A Supportive Community
Training with i2i means joining a warm and collaborative community. Your centre-based days provide a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow trainees, share experiences, and build a strong support network that will stay with you throughout your training journey.
Learning in Schools from Day One
From your very first days on the i2i programme, you will be actively involved in your placement school, making a real and immediate difference. You will begin by observing and shadowing experienced colleagues, gradually taking on more responsibility as your confidence grows—planning lessons, leading learning, and applying the knowledge gained during your training days.
Tailored Placements
Your main placement school is carefully selected with your needs in mind. We consider a range of factors, including your location and, importantly, the availability of a highly skilled Mentor who will guide, challenge and support you every step of the way. This personalised approach ensures you receive the individual attention and encouragement you need to thrive.
