We are an ambitious trust who strive for excellence in all areas and our work with trainee teachers is no different. Our successes have been recognised by Ofsted who have judged us as a good provider.
We work with both Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield. We have long standing and close relationships with both universities.
