Middlesbrough SCITT (School-centred initial teacher training), based at Macmillan Academy, has won a regional award at this year’s National Training Awards. The award recognises the achievement of the SCITT and its partner schools as a provider of ITT and the impact this has had on recruitment in the 3 shortage subjects of ICT, Maths and Science across the partnership.

The National Training Awards are the UK's number one accolade for businesses, organisations and individuals who have achieved lasting excellence and success through training and learning.

Effective training enables individuals to achieve their potential, organisations to achieve their aims and objectives, and the UK workforce to compete in global markets. Our aim is to recognise and celebrate the people and the organisations who create success through training and personal development.

The National Training Awards are universally recognised as being the number one in their field. An Award is the platform for you to be recognised as number one in yours.

Winners demonstrate achievements across a vast spectrum of activity, whether that activity is based in the workplace or in the community.

The quality common to all winners of a National Training Award is that they demonstrate significant benefits from exceptionally effective learning and skills development. Winners show not only good people development but also the outstanding results gained by putting what has been learned into practice.

Regional Training Awards are made to entries that are judged as demonstrating outstanding achievement in their region in England, or nation in the case of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
