SHU is one of 41 approved Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) providers across the country.
The University’s Early Childhood Education and Care (0-5) with Early Years Teacher Status course, was inspected last year for the first time since becoming part of initial teacher training.
Inspectors rated the one-year course, which is open to those already employed in early years settings as a part-time option and a full-time route for graduates new to the sector, outstanding across all areas.
In the Ofsted report, the inspector praised the university’s quality of training and trainees’ outcomes, saying tutors deliver ‘coherent and well-structured training’.
The inspector said, ‘The overall effectiveness of the partnership is outstanding. The programme leader’s passion for early years, and that of members of the management committee and trainers, rub off on the trainees, who are keen to do well. Outstanding leadership, underpinned by a drive to train the best early years teachers, has established a highly effective programme and partnership.’
