Alongside over sixty schools in Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas, including Hertfordshire and Hillingdon, Astra is partnered with a number of organisations, all working towards our goal of improving educational outcomes for all.
With a distinguished history in education and teacher training, Bath Spa University is not only the largest provider of teacher training in the South-West but also a leading partner in School Centred Initial Teacher Training working, with fifteen SCITTs across England.
We work alongside Buckinghamshire Council in recruiting new teachers to train in primary, secondary and special schools in Buckinghamshire.
Dating back to 1624, Dr Challoner's Grammar School is a selective 11-18 boys school with a co-educational Sixth Form, and Astra's lead school. With our offices based in premises owned by the school, Astra SCITT is at the heart of Dr Challoner's aim of working towards educational improvement for all in Buckinghamshire, and teaching staff from Dr Challoner's are involved with all aspects of our training and include mentors, lead mentors and subject tutors.
