Bea Tingey

Director of Secondary Teacher Training

My name is Bea Tingey, and I am honoured to lead the secondary training programme for the SCITT. It is a profound privilege to play a role in preparing the next generation of educators, who will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the lives of young people across the North West. Collaborating with a network of distinguished experts throughout Blackpool, Liverpool, and beyond, all united by a shared commitment to enhancing educational outcomes, is both fulfilling and gratifying.
With over 28 years of experience in education, I bring a deep well of knowledge and expertise to my role. My career encompasses a range of positions, including English language and literature teacher, Lead Practitioner in teaching and learning, CPD facilitator, and Assistant Headteacher responsible for ITT and ECT development and progression.

In addition to my professional responsibilities, I am a passionate advocate of the theatre, literature and enjoy exploring the countryside in my free time.

Rebecca Gudgeon

Director of Primary Teacher Training

With seventeen years of experience,  I have had the privilege of working with every year group across four different primary schools.  Over the years I have held a range of leadership roles including Deputy Headteacher, SENDCo, Designated Safeguarding Lead and Early Years Lead as well as leading various curriculum areas.  I am very fortunate to have been involved with the SCITT since its inception and remain deeply committed to supporting and mentoring the next generation of teachers.  I am passionate about education and the profound impact teachers have on shaping lives.  Even after over a decade in the profession, I still get a huge buzz from being in the classroom.  It really is the best job in the world!
