Introducing the partnership

17 Primary Schools, 1 amazing experience!

Train with us to have a training experience that puts you and your development as a teacher as first priority. We are committed to providing all trainee teachers with a school experience that is enriching and happy. We work together to ensure that you fulfil your potential to become successful in all aspects of school life, ensuring you are have all the experiences needed to be successfully employed on completion of your training.  

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 Initial Teacher Training Leads. We provide much of the training in partnership with Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust meaning you will get to see life in schools across West Yorkshire.
