We are the longest standing provider of School Direct in York and our Initial Teacher Training partner, York St John University, has provided teacher education since 1841. Previously known as EborHope Teaching Schools Alliance, we continue to work in partnership with York St John University to ensure that teaching in the classroom is underpinned with a rigorous academic understanding. If you are interested in training to teach with us, take a look at our eBrochure to find out more.

Our ITE provision is informed by the Core Content Framework. This statutory document contributes to the overall curriculum we provide for all of our School Direct PGCE training teachers. There are five key themes to our unique ITE provision:

  • Being a Professional
  • Creative/Critical Thinking/Reflection
  • Personal Teaching Philosophy
  • Relationships and Partnership
  • Research engaged

“

There is something special about York St John trainees. They are diligent, kind, caring and self-reflective.

Ofsted ITE Inspection Report
March 2022

At Hope Sentamu Learning Trust, you are always treated as a member of staff and not a trainee teacher. Our training teachers are referred to as Hope Sentamu Learning Trust teachers, as you are considered a member of the teaching staff of a school from day one.

Our teachers will undertake two contrasting placements during the year. For the majority of the year, our Hope Sentamu Learning Trust teachers will be in their base placement. The second school placement lasts for 6 weeks during the spring term.
