We aim for very high standards of training enabling future teachers to have an excellent start to their teaching careers. We work hard to create an environment in which staff, pupils and trainee teachers alike feel valued and supported.

 

Our partnership of schools comprises a range of settings from Infant and Junior schools through to Primary. All of our schools are within the Wakefield and Barnsley District areas.

 

Our schools have an excellent track record working with ITT partners for many years and we are excited to have the chance to channel all of our enthusiasm and experience into your teacher training from September 2024.

 

Trainees will have the opportunity to work in several of the schools within our cluster, with further academic study at Leeds Trinity University. Our schools offer a range of expertise in early years and primary teaching, and along with the staff at Leeds Trinity you will be supported, challenged and inspired.

 

“We are looking for candidates who will become enthusiastic, outstanding teachers with the ability to inspire our children with a love of learning.“
