Teacher Training

St. Mary's Menston is committed to the training of teachers. We work in a partnership with an ever increasing number of higher-educational institutions to provide training leading to Newly Qualified Teacher status.

Presently we work with: Leeds Trinity and All Saints, Leeds University, Leeds Metropolitan University, Liverpool Hope and Bradford College.

Examples of our teacher training partnerships.

Leeds SCITT (school-centered initial teacher training) offers high quality training that is based on a tried and trusted model from Leeds Trinity & All Saints - an OfSTED inspected Grade I provider. In addition to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) the course leads to a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from the University of Leeds.

St. Mary's has had a very successful working partnership with Bradford College over the last three years. The partnership promotes the training of GTP's (graduates in the teaching profession). All of the trainees involved in this scheme gained NQT status and have been successfully appointed to their first teaching post.
