Teach North works in partnership with some of the best universities in the country to deliver excellent teacher training across the North of England; these include Durham University, Leeds Beckett University, Sheffield Hallam University, Teesside University and the University of York. Each university we work with brings its own unique and high-quality training to help each of our trainees to succeed.

As we offer a School Direct programme, our trainees will complete two contrasting school placements. These experiences will support our trainees to discover the type of setting they want to work in during their teaching career.

As a Teach North trainee, and as part of the Outwood Family, our trainees will be supported by the entire Outwood Grange Academies Trust and the Outwood Institute of Education. We encourage all our trainees to network and build relationships with not only other trainees, but staff members at their placement schools. We know that obtaining QTS is just the beginning of our trainees’ teacher journey and our ultimate aim is to support them to secure their first teaching position. We are also well aware that some trainees want to further pursue their own education after graduating, either immediately or at some point in the future. On completion of any of our programmes, our trainees will receive Master’s credits as part of the PGCE qualification, with QTS.
