We have been running our successful programmes, in partnership with the University of Derby, for over 10 years and have seen fantastic results along the way with our Beginning Teachers all securing teaching jobs after completion of their PGCE training year. Based in and around the North West Leicestershire area, we work in partnership with local Primary, Secondary and SEND schools to offer our BTs high quality placements in good and outstanding schools. See our Alliance Partners page for a list of our partner schools.
