As we reach the half-way point with our recruitment figures (10 firm offers out of twenty vacancies so far) I'm pleased to announce that Leeds Trinity is hosting another PGCE open day on Saturday 24 February 2018, 11.00am - 2.00pm.
Whether you are interested in a future teaching career but not sure where to go next or if you're ready to apply now, this event is a MUST!
During the event you will have the chance to meet with representatives of St Anthony's, receive valuable advice about how to use the UCAS portal and even get a sweet and a pen or two!
Trinity will also be providing information about all the different teaching levels and subject areas available; there will be stands run by the different partner schools, and the opportunity to find out about student finance, the application process and how to prepare for your interview.

Most of our new trainees met with us on the Open Day and gained invaluable information and resources which evidently helped them to take that first vital step on the way to their future career: applying for a School Direct place. So if you don't believe me, come and find out for yourself. Join us at the roadshow and see why you should join the St Anthony's Teaching Alliance, one of the best, most supportive and professional School Direct Teacher Training establishments in the region!
It's been a busy three months since the UCAS portal opened, but we at St Anthony's can honestly say we have been delighted by the high quality of applicants we have received (not to mention the high volume). When we were awarded 20 places in the Autumn, our highest recruitment number since we opened as a teaching school, we were filled with some trepidation as to whether we would ever be able to fill such a large number of vacancies. Well, we needn't have worried. Even though it is only January, we have made 14 offers and had 10 firm acceptances! So, I think it is fair to say we are half way there already!
We have been wowed by some truly excellent trial lessons and dazzled by the passion and commitment of those who have visited us so far. And we can honestly say we are excited by the prospect of welcoming such high-calibre recruits to our alliance in September.
So if you haven't put in your application for the 18-19 School Direct course, you probably better hurry! After all, it might not be long before we are announcing our course is full!
