GITEP is very fortunate to work with a wide range of brilliant partner schools.  Gloucestershire is a great place to be a secondary school pupil and indeed a trainee teacher!

The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2020 names Pate’s Grammar School as its State Secondary School of the Year.  Along with Pate’s, there are 6 other GITEP partner schools listed among the top 20 in the South West, with Balcarras School the top comprehensive.

We are very proud to work with all these schools and really value the support they provide for GITEP. GITEP exists to recruit and train teachers for our partner schools.  Over the last three years 32 of our trainees have gone on to find employment in one of the seven schools listed and we hope that they have contributed to the success of the schools.
