Ofsted praise Leeds Trinity’s teacher training courses

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) has issued a glowing report on Leeds Trinity University College’s teacher training programme.

Ofsted has found that the key to Leeds Trinity University College’s success is the enthusiasm and expertise of its staff, the personal support offered to students and the teaching experience that prospective teachers gain in schools.

The report highlights as outstanding the ability to be innovative and forward thinking, the leadership of the programmes, and partnerships with schools, which are very strong across the region.

Julia Tanner, Leeds Trinity’s dean of education said: “We know from the annual Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) Survey that Leeds Trinity University College trained NQTs are among the very best in the country, and we are delighted to see this reflected in the Ofsted report.

“I am very grateful to everybody involved for their tremendous commitment to nurturing the potential of all our trainees so they become the excellent new teachers schools and their pupils need.”
