Kingsbridge has a wide network of partnership schools that we work with across the North-West to support our high-quality, school-led teacher training programme.
Please be aware that a decision to place trainees will depend on location, capacity in schools to take trainees and suitability of trainees to schools’ values/ethos. If trainees have a preference for a school, this will also be considered, but cannot be promised. Placement schools are only confirmed in the summer term once schools are able to confirm mentor availability for the following academic year in which you will train.
