ABOUT US
Inspire Professional Development is part of The Blue Kite Academy Trust. We believe that great schools cannot exist without great teachers, and that great teachers can continue to get better.
At Inspire, we provide the Department for Education's 'golden thread' of quality training and continuous professional development. The Golden Thread is a key strategy of the DfE and as such has evidence informed, research based professional development programmes that are designed for each stage of a teacher's career. This starts with the Core Content Framework for Initial Teacher Training, to the Early Career Framework which provides a two-year induction for Early Career Teachers, to the specialist and leadership National Professional Qualifications. We are able to support professionals in the education industry at every stage of their career.
Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
Train to become a primary school teacher at Inspire Professional Development, through our Initial Teacher Training programme in partnership with Ambition Institute
and Liverpool Hope University.
You will benefit from a tailored programme of training and support from outstanding, experienced professionals. Our package will provide you with theory, subject knowledge and invaluable classroom practice. At Inspire, you will join our network of schools to develop your knowledge and pedagogy, to become an outstanding primary school teacher. We award places on the School Direct (PGCE and QTS) route into teaching. We recruit trainees in the primary phase from 5-11 years.
The recommendation for QTS certification is made by Ambition Institute (Lead ITT Provider) and PGCE (with 60 Masters credits) is awarded by Liverpool Hope University.
