Welcome to Red Kite Teacher Training

We are an Ofsted Outstanding Provider of school-based teacher training in North and West Yorkshire. We work in partnership with schools across the region, as well as the University of Leeds, to train new teachers who are confident in the classroom and are sought after by future employers as accomplished practitioners.

In February 2024, Ofsted highlighted that “trainees experience high-quality training underpinned by well-chosen age and subject specific practice. They benefit from training that is intelligently aligned across the centre and placement schools. For example, mentors help trainees deepen their understanding of central training on early reading in their evolving classroom practice.”

Outstanding Ofsted for Red Kite Teacher Training

Red Kite Teaching Training has received an ‘Outstanding’ rating for both primary and secondary provision. 

A thorough assessment of the Red Kite Teacher Training provision was conducted between 5th and 8th of February.  A team of three of Her Majesty’s Inspectors and four Ofsted Inspectors met with governors, leaders and members of the SCITT team and reviewed a wide sample of documentation and training programme material. They also visited 10 schools, five primary and five secondary, to observe and interview trainees and speak with school leaders, mentors and staff.

Inspectors found that “Trainees flourish at Red Kite Teacher Training” and “experience high-quality training.” They noted that “training is driven by a strong vision of excellence that is shared and exceptionally well realised.”

Red Kite Teacher Training 23-24

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.
