What do people say about us?
Listen to what our trainees say about us on our website under testimonials. Many of our past trainees are still known to us, pursuing successful careers locally. Many make rapid progress through their careers and hold positions of responsibility, some returning as mentors for trainees, fully understanding the journey you will be undertaking. Headteachers often contact us about employment.
Regular communication between programme leaders and schools underpins the well organised training experience.
Experience
We have trained over 800 teachers since 2003, rated ‘Good’ from Ofsted in 2023. We pride ourselves on providing training and support of the highest quality.
We look after our trainees
Our programme effectively begins from the moment you engage with us. We will guide you every step of the way from application to the completion of your first year of employment and beyond.
We take trainee welfare extremely seriously and within our programme consideration is given to workload and well-being, which is embedded into our programme. We have introduced a Mental Health and Wellbeing programme to support our trainees through their training including mindfulness sessions, peer and Mental First Aid support sessions and an embedded culture of support for our trainee teachers.
Our training enables us to deal with and remove barriers to learning. We have supported many trainees with a range of learning and physical needs and again have examples of trainees who have chosen to discuss these with us and have barriers removed to enable them to complete their teacher training.
We provide a free DBS check for you for your training year – you don’t have to pay for this yourself.
