Train to teach with DoWAT

Your journey to become an outstanding teacher starts with The Diocese of Westminster Academy Trust (DoWAT) and St Mary’s University. Working together, we deliver Initial Teacher Training which gives you the exciting mix of valuable classroom experience and exciting university lectures.

Choosing to train to teach with us means that you’ll receive a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). St Mary’s University offers 60 additional M-Level credits, which can be used towards a Master’s Degree, should you wish to do additional training at a later date.
