That is why we believe that investment in training teachers of the future is vital to creating the outstanding educators and leaders that our profession needs
Why train with us?
We have vast experience in training people to become excellent practitioners and all of our previous trainees have gained employment at the end of their studies. ‘Home-grown’ talent is our aspiration; the majority of our teaching students go on to gain employment within our community of schools and many have progressed into middle and senior leadership roles within the trust.
During your training, you will be supported through one-to-one guidance from your school based mentor, including advice and modelling how to plan, teach, assess and deliver feedback to ensure the best possible progress for our children.
As well as this individual support, you will receiving coaching and mentoring from other experienced educators within our multi-academy trust and attend tailored professional development sessions, both within the trust and at your linked university.
