Support for schools and trusts

We work with trusts and schools to offer professional development courses and qualifications that meet your unique needs.

We can help you to:

• Boost recruitment and retention by training your future teachers in your school
• Qualify your teaching staff while they continue to work in your school
• Upskill your teaching and support staff cost effectively
• Close skills gaps and address subject shortages within your team

For UK schools and trusts, we can help you access funded routes to train the next generation of teachers. We’re a nationally accredited provider of Initial Teacher Training (ITT), Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) and apprenticeships including the Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship and Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship.  

We care passionately about helping you to nurture your team from within. For your talented teaching staff who aren’t yet qualified, we offer the Straight to Teaching teacher development programme and Assessment Only route to qualified teacher status (QTS).

Ensure your teaching staff meet the requirements of the new Ofsted framework through targeted professional development, including:

• Understanding of SEND and inclusive practice
• Expertise in the national curriculum for the appropriate subject / age phase
• Safeguarding training
• Providing a professional learning programme for all staff
• Supporting trainee teachers and early careers teachers (ECTs) to develop their teaching expertise

We’ll work with you to devise a programme that addresses any gaps in your PD provision, raising standards and lifting confidence for all.

Professional development is a key lever to help you attract and retain the best teaching talent in an increasingly competitive environment.

We offer two qualifications designed specifically for international schools: iQTS and iPGCE. Both enable you to demonstrate the credibility of your teaching staff with UK-backed qualifications:

• iQTS is a teacher training course accredited by the UK Department for Education (DfE) and leads to qualified teacher status (QTS), the same qualification required to teach in England and Wales 

• Our iPGCE is awarded by the University of East London (UEL) 

For schools offering a British curriculum, the Straight to Teaching teacher development programme and Assessment Only route to QTS enables your teachers to gain a DfE-accredited qualification without leaving your school.

Provide all your staff with a single point of access to a wide range of UK and internationally relevant professional studies, subject knowledge, safeguarding and duty of care courses on our online training platform.

Manage CPD more strategically, raise the standard of teaching across your school, align with best practice and ensure your whole school is up-to-date and compliant with the latest safeguarding and duty of care training.
