One of the largest school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) providers in North and West Yorkshire has received an 'Outstanding' rating following its Ofsted inspection earlier this year.
Red Kite Teacher Training, based in Harrogate, works in partnership with schools across the region, as well as the University of Leeds, to train new primary and secondary teachers to be competent and confident in the classroom.
A thorough assessment the Red Kite Teacher Training provision was conducted between 5th and 8th of February.
A team of three of Her Majesty’s Inspectors and four Ofsted Inspectors met with governors, leaders and members of the SCITT team and reviewed a wide sample of documentation and training programme material.
They also visited 10 schools, five primary and five secondary, to observe and interview trainees and speak with school leaders, mentors and staff.
Inspectors found that “Trainees flourish at Red Kite Teacher Training” and “experience high-quality training.”
They noted that “training is driven by a strong vision of excellence that is shared and exceptionally well realised.”
Victoria Lickley, Director of Red Kite Teacher Training, expressed pride in the achievements of Red Kite Teacher Training and its commitment to excellence.
She said:
"We are delighted to receive such high praise from Ofsted, which reflects our strong partnerships with schools and dedication to providing an exceptional training experience for our aspiring teachers.
"At Red Kite Teacher Training, we strive to empower trainees with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to succeed in their teaching careers."
