Looking to inspire the next generation? Join our teacher training programme and take the first step toward a rewarding career in education! In partnership with Inspiring Future Teachers, the Kite Teacher Training Hub offer hands-on experience, expert mentorship, and a supportive learning environment to help you grow as an educator.
As part of Inspiring Future Teachers, our Kite Teacher Training hub will offer all the benefits of being part of a large national programme whilst at the same time providing locally-delivered, school-based training in infant and primary academies. We are able to offer placements across EYFS, including nurseries, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Our goal is to equip all trainee teachers with the training, experience and support necessary to be successful and thrive, not just in their training year, but throughout their career.
The Kite Teacher Training Hub works closely with The Kite Academy Trust and The Mother Teresa Catholic Academy Trust.
The Kite Academy Trust
The Kite Academy Trust is a highly collaborative and forward-thinking family of local infant and primary academies in Surrey and Hampshire who enable all children to achieve more than they ever believed possible. Across all of our academies, we have vast range experience in leading Initial Teacher Training, delivering high-quality continuous professional development, and designing and successfully implementing an ambitious, inclusive curriculum that is accessible for all pupils.
At The Kite Academy Trust, we know that staff well-being is crucial. Teachers across the Trust feel supported and empowered to deliver a high-quality curriculum to all children; this is exemplified in recent Ofsted reports at our academies.
