We’re proud to be part of the Co-op — a successful, ethical organisation that believes in people helping people. That shapes everything we do! We put pupils, colleagues and communities first.

Real experience, from day one

From the moment you join us, you’ll be based in one of our academies. You won’t just be watching from the sidelines - you’ll be learning on the job, supported by experienced, brilliant teachers who know what great practice looks like in real classrooms.

Your development matters

We care about your growth, not just while you’re training, but throughout your whole career. You’ll take part in high-quality, practical training led by skilled professionals who are passionate about teaching and learning — and about helping you be your best.

Qualifications that open doors

You’ll gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have the option to work towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with 60 Master’s credits - giving you a strong foundation for the future.

Learning for life

Professional development doesn’t stop once you qualify. We’re committed to lifelong learning, with ongoing CPD that’s relevant, engaging and designed to support you at every stage of your career.

If you’re looking for a supportive place to train, grow and make a real difference, you’ll feel at home with us.

A guaranteed placement

We’ll secure you a teaching placement in one of our Trust academies or partner schools, so you can focus on learning and growing.

Experience across age groups

You'll get to train across different age groups, from early years all the way to sixth form.

A Chromebook for your training

We’ll provide you with a Google Chromebook to support your learning throughout the course - and it’s yours to keep when you finish.

Support you can rely on

You’ll be supported every step of the way by experienced mentors, classroom teachers and Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) who want to see you succeed.

Train close to home

Our academies are based across the North of England, including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Merseyside and Staffordshire, working with diverse communities.
