Strong Ofsted Outcome in Tenth Anniversary Year

Red Kite Teacher Training is celebrating a fantastic outcome following its latest Ofsted inspection, with every aspect of its primary and secondary provision recognised as meeting a Strong Standard under Ofsted's renewed Initial Teacher Education framework.

The outcome comes at a particularly special time, as Red Kite Teacher Training marks its tenth year as a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider. Over the past decade, the partnership has supported hundreds of trainee teachers as they take their first steps into the profession and go on to make a lasting difference to children and young people across the region and beyond.

What our trainees have to say...

As someone who was very reserved and nervous to begin the course, I have loved the structure of it and the way teaching gradually increases.

2024-25 trainee

Thank you so much, Red Kite! I have been so impressed with the running of the course. It always felt as though there was someone to help me, and I never felt alone. Red Kite genuinely cares about you as a person and wants to support you however they can. I am so pleased I chose to do my teacher training with Red Kite!

2024-2025 trainee

I feel the course was planned out really well and the weekly training sessions allowed us to spend time with other trainees.
