Our Story

The Doncaster ITT Partnership is the ONLY Accredited Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Provider in Doncaster - one of only 5 in the whole of South Yorkshire!

Our Partnership was formed in 2002 to help Doncaster schools recruit, train and retain qualified teachers through ‘home-grown’ schools-based training such as the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP). Since our first cohort of trainees started in September 2003, the Partnership has trained hundreds of Primary and Secondary teachers. Most chose to stay and teach in Doncaster, often in their training school. Many have secured senior management positions and some are now responsible for coordinating and delivering teacher training in their own schools.

We believe that our ‘model’ of initial teacher training works because the Partnership is more than just the sum of its parts: the Local Authority (Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council), local schools, academies and our university 'PGCE' partner - it is a genuine Partnership of people who passionately believe that teacher training can and should be delivered with the student at the very heart of why and how we deliver training.

Headteachers, training coordinators, mentors, tutors and former trainees from Partner schools and academies (Secondary, Primary & Special schools) all know what makes a difference to student teachers’ learning. Because of this they are best placed to steer the Provider’s Management Board, enabling the Partnership to consistently deliver ‘outstanding’ trainee attainment (Ofsted 2012).
