Welcome to Embrace Education, Tor View’s Centre of Educational Excellence as part of The Sea View Trust. We have a strong local, regional and national reputation for training high quality teachers for mainstream primary, secondary and special education. 

Embrace Education’s remit is to deliver on four core purposes:

  • Initial Teacher Education (ITE) – Training outstanding teachers through Embrace SCITT's programmes in partnership with Liverpool Hope Uniersity.
  • Teacher Development – Delivering the DfE's Golden Thread of teacher development programmes – Early Career Framework (ECF) and National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) - through Embrace Teaching School Hub.
  • School-to-School Support – Supporting schools to improve outcomes for pupils with our dedicated team of Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) – serving Senior Leaders with specific expertise to drive school improvement.
  • Research, Development & Continuous Professional Development (CPD) – identifying the most up to date practices and sharing these with our community of practitioners.

 

Tor View is well thought of locally as a provider of excellent outreach – offering schools an opportunity to look at specific difficulties learners may be experiencing and suggesting a range of strategies to support them in school. 

 

In order to deliver fully on these, Embrace is partnered with other local, regional and national organisations such as; Blackpool Research SchoolThe Teaching School Hubs Council and nasen Whole School SEND. More information can be found on their websites.
