Welcome

Kesgrave gained Training School Status in 2008 but our relationships with various local training providers and the Local Authority goes back many years in terms of partnerships working in the field of Initial Teacher Training and CPD. Over the years we have gained a reputation for a commitment to high quality provision of ITT.

Our ethos, innovative approaches to student organization and curriculum structures offer trainees a unique experience. A longstanding relationship also with the TDA through its Partnership and development Status recognizes that we are at the forefront of innovative ways of working within ITT partnerships and being involved in ongoing pilots of effective practice.
