Our new trainees are continuing to prepare for their first school placement through bespoke training sessions based on the foundational areas of teaching:

- Learning theory
- Routines and relationships
- Effective lesson planning

They’ve been putting strategies into practice in our training rooms, rehearsing routines and exploring approaches they’ll use as they get to know their students and classes.

One step closer to the classroom! 👏

Our new cohort of trainee teachers have been getting stuck in this week, developing classroom skills and confidence.

They’ve been practising interactive and engaging ways to promote equality and British values in the classroom, debating a range of topics in a gallery-style activity that models the importance of respectful speaking and listening.

An energising start to the year! ✨

One of the things we love about our partner schools is the incredible teachers you’ll learn alongside. Case in point… one of Raynville Academy’s teachers is currently competing on The Great British Sewing Bee!

When she’s not in the sewing room, Adele is inspiring children in the classroom and running a popular sewing club, demonstrating beautifully how teachers can use their interests and skills to enrich school life.

Every teacher brings something different, helping children discover new interests, build confidence and believe in themselves.

If you’re thinking about a career where you can make a real difference, we’d love to help you take the first step.

Applications for September 2026 are still open.

Fantastic to see the work of our trainees, SCITT team, mentors and partner schools recognised in the local media this week. The headline says it all and we couldn’t be prouder. A huge thank you to everyone who makes this possible every day ❤️

This week we welcomed our new cohort of trainee teachers for their onboarding day.

It was wonderful to see the group engaging in lots of inspiring conversations about education, sharing their motivations and goals for the year ahead.

Lots of positive relationships forming already and the trainees left buzzing to start their teacher training journey in September.

There’s still time to join our AA Teamworks family as part of the 2026-27 cohort, so if you’re considering a career in teaching, we’d love to hear from you.

Finishing your ITT year is an exciting time. It's a recognition of all you have learnt and mastered this year. It's also when you start looking forward to September and having your own classes!

Our final session at AA Teamworks West Yorkshire SCITT looks at your ECT year and wellbeing. There can be negativity in the press about the teaching profession and workload. Yet, there are also lots of people thriving and immersed in a career they really care about.

We want our trainees to learn from experts who know the challenges teaching involves, and successfully navigate these in roles they love and flourish in.

That's why we finish our year with you - looking at what good practices, tips and strategies you can take with you into your own classroom.

On Thank A Teacher Day, we’re proud to share this wonderful message recognising one of our SCITT trainees.

What a great reminder of the impact trainee teachers can have from the very start of their journey, when supported by excellent mentoring and strong school partnerships.

We’re incredibly proud of all our trainees as they develop into confident and inspiring teachers.

Today is National Thank a Teacher Day, and we are celebrating the incredible difference that teachers make every day.

As a proud partner of AA Teamworks West Yorkshire SCITT, we are privileged to support trainee teachers as they embark on their teaching careers. From day one, they bring enthusiasm, dedication, and a genuine commitment to helping children thrive.

This heartfelt message to Miss Rogers, one of our trainee teachers, perfectly captures the impact that teachers have beyond the classroom:

At the heart of great teaching is more than academic success – it is the nurture, care, encouragement and relationships that help children feel valued, supported and confident. Messages like this remind us just how important that role is.

Thank you to Miss Rogers, all our teachers and all those working in education for the difference you make every single day. 💕
