Part of our commitment to our trainees is ensuring that at every step of the way, from interview to completion of the course, we meet the individual needs of our trainees. This can, but is not limited to, the following adjustments.

PART-TIME (FLEXI ROUTES) 
All programmes can be adapted to be completed on a part-time basis (minimum of 3 days). Although we can be flexible to meet the needs of individual involved, it should be noted that the training day is non-negotiable and there are a number of other compulsory training days throughout the year that flexi-trainees must attend. All our flexi-routes lead to QTS (and PGCE, if desired).

PLACEMENTS
We understand that finding the right placement school is fundamental to a trainee feeling settled and progressing through the course. Where there are existing relationships between a candidate and a school, and a desire on both sides to continue to work together, we try to honour this within our placement choices. We pride ourselves on knowing our schools and departments/key stages within them, as well as identifying the needs of incoming teachers. Placements are discussed at interview so that each candidate’s thoughts can be fully considered.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES 

As a training provider we are commitment to providing equal opportunities for all that wish to enter a career in teaching. We seek to provide placements and inclusive training environments for all. We will take the time to understand your needs at interview so that you will be able to access our provision to its fullest. 

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Inclusion is a key feature and strength of our programme; we celebrate diversity and believe it is important for students in every school to have access to teachers and leaders from all backgrounds. We launched our first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion trainee group in 2022 to ensure the continual development of Xavier Teach SouthEast's provision for and training on DEI.
