Yorkshire Schools Alliance is a partnership of 17 Yorkshire Secondary Schools, The University of York, Leeds Beckett University,  and Leeds Trinity University.

We have come together to provide a unique training opportunity for prospective teachers through the government’s teacher training initiative School Direct.

School Direct allows schools and academies to select and train recruits to the profession. If accepted on to the programme you will undertake school placements across the partnership and will have access to high quality academic support at The University of York, Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Trinity University.

Our ITT (Initial Teacher Training) programmes have been designed to build your confidence and subject knowledge and give you the necessary skills to become an effective classroom practitioner.

On completion of your training you will be awarded a PGCE with QTS. Graduates of Yorkshire Schools Alliance will be confident, knowledgeable and reflective teachers, ready to embark on a rewarding and fulfilling career, hopefully taking up positions that arise within our partnership of schools.
