Guided by our  “train to retain” vision, we aim to support our trainees throughout their journey and beyond, helping them continue their teaching careers within our family of schools.

Initial Teacher Training in your local area

Choosing an ITT course in Lancashire offers a range of personal and professional benefits.

Training near your home allows for greater flexibility and a better work-life balance, while also making it easier to access support from your mentors, peers, and school leaders.

A localised approach to teacher training also helps you to build deeper connections with your community and gain a stronger understanding of local educational challenges and opportunities. This community insight is invaluable for any new teacher, helping you to deliver teaching that truly meets the needs of your pupils.

Many schools also value teachers who have trained locally, as they are already familiar with the area, its culture, and the community they serve.
