The Lead Partner Model offers Primary and Secondary PGCE courses through a partnership of local schools or a training hub such as Leeds SCITT and Leeds Trinity University.

This is ideal for any graduate who wishes to complete their teacher training within a school environment.

It allows you to experience first-hand what pupils find difficult in your subject and you'll work directly with your lead subject tutor to meet these challenges.

You'll be based in a school from day one and your training will be very hands-on.

The Lead Partner Model also offers Primary and Secondary PGCE courses, and Undergraduate teacher training courses through Bradford College and the Margaret McMillan School of Education.

Book your Place

The practical nature of the course fully prepared me to teach. I was confident in starting my career and have been able to progress in my department. I am now the Lead Tutor for my subject with the skills I gained from the Leeds SCITT course.
