Teacher Training 

17 Primary Schools, 1 amazing experience

Our schools have excellent transport links by rail or car. We border Leeds, North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Halifax and have a diverse and rewarding range of schools. We are a Catholic Partnership, but like lots of our children, parents and teachers, you do not have to be Catholic to be a part of what we do.

You will be immersed in school life straightaway, part of our family. You will receive bespoke on the job training from a mentor, overseen by our Lead Mentor. We provide much of the training in partnership with Bishop Konstant CatholicAcademy Trust meaning you will get to see life in schools across West Yorkshire.
