If you're considering training to teach in Coventry and Warwickshire, hear what Ms Williams, Teacher of English 📖✍️ , has to say about her experience with the Lion Alliance:

"From the outset, all members of the Alliance were exceptionally supportive, and it was clear that they were genuinely invested in our success. Their openness made them highly approachable to seek guidance whenever needed. The chance to work alongside a variety of experts from a range of diverse school settings was particularly valuable, enabling me to synthesise different perspectives and teaching approaches.

The ITaP days were especially impactful and thoughtfully organised. Bringing together trainees from a variety of placements, these sessions created a collaborative environment to share ideas, discuss challenges, and learn from one another. These sessions were not only helpful for enhancing my understanding of teaching but also provided a valuable opportunity to gain insight into a range of school settings from like-minded peers.

I would strongly encourage anyone considering a career in teaching to apply to the Lion Alliance."

As last years session was incredibly popular, we're very excited to host our 'Meet the expert: Dave Fountain' event 💹 for a second time, at Finham Park school on Monday 18th May 2026.

Dave will be speaking to teachers from schools across Coventry and Warwickshire about the 'Teachers Pension Scheme' - exploring the main features of the TPS which covers the current career average scheme (which is relevant to everyone).

We're eager to improve understanding of teachers pensions considering how complex this area can be.

If you're considering becoming a teacher, hear what Ms Atkinson-Rowse, Teacher of Design Technology 📐🔨, has to say:

"I chose to train with the Lion Alliance after working at Finham Park School as a technician for a year. During that time, I was struck by the quality of their CPD and the professionalism of the staff, and I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else.

The Lion Alliance exceeded all expectations. The course was exceptionally well organised, and the communication and support were seamless. Teacher training is naturally intense and sometimes overwhelming, but the hospitality and clarity provided by the Alliance made the whole experience far more manageable. The mentors in school were phenomenal.

Teaching is an incredible profession. It’s demanding, rewarding, and hard to fully describe until you experience it for yourself. If you’re even considering it, I would encourage you to give it a try."
