About Us
Our SCITT centre is located at the Believe Learning Institute (BLI) in Sale, Manchester. The BLI is designed specifically to accommodate professional learning and development, and also provides a hub for trainees. You will have your own Common Room, kitchen amenities, a quiet space for study, and discounted membership for the onsite gym. We are within walking distance to public transport links, and parking is available.
“Trainees described the strong relationships that they have with the school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) provider. Trainees recognise that the SCITT prioritises support for their workload and well-being. Leaders have prudently organised the ITE curriculum to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on trainees.” – (Ofsted 2024)
