We are an Ofsted Outstanding Provider of school-based teacher training in North and West Yorkshire. We work in partnership with schools across the region, as well as the University of Leeds, to train new teachers who are confident in the classroom and are sought after by future employers as accomplished practitioners.
In February 2024, Ofsted highlighted that “trainees experience high-quality training underpinned by well-chosen age and subject specific practice. They benefit from training that is intelligently aligned across the centre and placement schools. For example, mentors help trainees deepen their understanding of central training on early reading in their evolving classroom practice.”

Red Kite Teaching Training has received an ‘Outstanding’ rating for both primary and secondary provision.
A thorough assessment of the Red Kite Teacher Training provision was conducted between 5th of February. A team of three of Her Majesty’s Inspectors and four Ofsted Inspectors met with governors, leaders and members of the SCITT team and reviewed a wide sample of documentation and training programme material. They also visited 10 schools, five primary and five secondary, to observe and interview trainees and speak with school leaders, mentors and staff.
Fourteen secondary schools from across the Red Kite Alliance came together on Thursday 14 May for the annual Science Competition, where teams of Year 7 students competed for the coveted Golden Microscope trophy.
