About Us

Why Red Kite?
We believe that a school-based teacher training course gives you the best possible start to your teaching career and our Trainees agree!
The supportive and flexible nature of our programme is what sets us apart. You are in school from day one, but will start by observing before building up the time you teach until you feel ready to take the class. We tailor the course to suit you, and you’ll have the full support of your mentors and trainee progress leaders all the way.
We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring your placement schools are a good fit for you as an individual. We also take into account personal circumstances such as travel time and childcare commitments to make sure that training to teach with us is as convenient as possible. Our trainees are given the opportunity to indicate their own placement preferences and always know in advance where their placements will be, which makes planning ahead that bit simpler.
Our new Train Where You Live concept gives you more flexibility than ever, meaning that wherever you are in the region and whatever your training and placement preferences, you can still access the same Red Kite Teacher Training course.
