THE next generation of teachers proved to be top of the class after completing their professional qualifications.
Trainees from across the North-East and North Yorkshire have spent the past year learning their craft in schools all over the region as part of the Carmel Teacher Training Partnership.
At their recent graduation ceremony, at Carmel College, Darlington, the teachers were urged to inspire children in their learning.
Around 85 per cent of primary and secondary trainees at CTTP received a merit or distinction for their Post-Graduate Certification in Education 2022.
Four of the trainee teachers’ work was so exceptional that it was considered worthy of publication by CTTP’s partner Leeds Trinity University.
More than 90 per cent of trainees have secured teaching positions within and beyond the North-East in state and independent schools.
CTTP director of teacher training Monica Shepherd said she was delighted with the results achieved by both primary and secondary trainees.
“The 2022-23 cohort are now well established in their school placements and are already making good progress,” she said. “We look forward to another set of excellent results next summer.”
Anyone interested in training as a teacher, or would like to undertake a school experience day or a volunteering position, can contact applications via the DfE ‘Apply’ portal, which opens in October for teacher training in September 2023.
