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 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.
Some more benefits of teacher training with Red Kite include:
