Our Partner Schools
We have partners across both primary and secondary schools who work with us to support our students on School Direct Initial Teacher Training programme, we work in partnership with Newman University.
Our placement schools span the Black Country and are currently in Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. New schools are welcomed into our developing partnerships as our student numbers increase.
If a student is in a current support staff role, it may be possible for the School Direct placement to be in that school.
