This week, ALL of our ATs will complete a Mental Health First Aid Certificate, ensuring they are able to recognise the signs of poor Mental Health in themselves, colleagues and pupils.
We are proud to be one of only a few Trusts who provides this qualification for their ATs.

A reminder that applications for 'Training to Teach' with the Wade Deacon Trust will close at 9am on Friday 5th July.

Please apply via gov.uk/apply-for-teac…

Welcome back to all of our Associate Teachers for their FINAL TERM of ITT.

Those recommendations for QTS are in touching distance now! As always, we are here to support you just as much as we were on your first day.

Enjoy your final term.

As our schools now start to close for the Easter/ Spring Break, please be aware that our inbox for Teacher Training applications remain open, and will be monitored over the holiday period - there may just be a slightly longer wait in us contacting you to arrange an interview.

Thank you to all of our schools and Mentors who have provided support during the Alternative Placement period.

This has been a wonderful opportunity for our ATs to experience a different setting and work with different colleagues.

Once again, thank you.

Who would be interested in a part time PGCE/QTS route?

We are excited to join the DfE Focus Group to consider options for a more flexible training route, and to discover how our Trust can offer this.

Watch this space.....

Fantastic feedback from our ATs in their Alternative Placements. This is always a challenging time, but one which develops teachers so much.

Secondary Alternative Placements have started brilliantly. Well done and thanks to all involved.

Next week - Primary ATs - it's your turn!
