Highlights: Feature

Red Kite Teacher Training Parkrun Takeover

On a crisp and misty Saturday morning, the tranquil Woodhouse Moor transformed into a bustling hub of energy, hosting a remarkable gathering of over 750 participants and volunteers for the highly anticipated Red Kite Teacher Training Parkrun Takeover.

With registrations from across the Red Kite Teacher Training partnership and beyond, the event served as a fabulous occasion for the Red Kite team to celebrate the teaching profession. Victoria Lickley, Director of Red Kite Teacher Training, kicked off the run with a warm welcome, giving a nod to passionate educators and aspiring teachers. In her opening remarks, she emphasised the importance of promoting teaching as a fulfilling and rewarding career.

Parkrun volunteer team

Overall I think Red Kite has a really good training programme which is associated with the University of Leeds and many other partners. The placement schools are spread across Leeds and North Yorkshire. I am already a research scientist at the University of Leeds so to get the chance of another year as a Leeds Uni student was important to me.

Kamalika Sengupta

Chemistry Trainee
2021-22

Taking that first lesson was probably my highlight, having that sense of working with the class teacher but using the behavioural techniques we learnt and having the children respond to you was a great feeling.

Robert Chesson-Holroyd

Primary with Maths Trainee
2020-21

Gaining experience in a real school setting before applying to Red Kite was invaluable in preparing me for the course.

Luise Horner

English Trainee
2019/20

The level of support you get both inside and outside the school environment is second to none. I don’t know of another training provider who supports you in the same way especially before the course has even begun with all the learning resources and tips. There is a real sense of community between all the trainees, we’re all on the same journey together and everyone is really supportive of each other.

Craig Robson

Primary 5-11 Trainee
2021-22

I believe the training provided by Red Kite has prepared me fully for my NQT year and beyond. I’ve felt fully supported by everyone at Red Kite throughout my entire training year. The ITT year is not an easy one, but having such consistent and effective training and support

Sophie Ziliukas

Ilkley Grammar School
Modern Foreign Languages 2019/20

I have really enjoyed the course. It has been challenging due to COVID but I think that the course was adapted really well especially given all the challenges that were thrown in the way. For me what I liked best about the course was the personal touch, I wasn’t just a number in a big organisation. I was able to build relationships with the ECL’s and mentors.
