“I often look back to the day I was interviewed and think how lucky I am to be given a place here on the course. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but also one of the most rewarding as now I have a job doing something I really enjoy.”

“I was promoted into my position of Head of Department at Easter during my NQT year. I felt my training with George Abbot put me in a very strong position from which to build. In particular, I feel the rigorous training I had in medium and long term planning really helped me make this transition. I’m really proud of completing my ITT at George Abbot and feel a debt of gratitude for the quality of training I received.”
