Sacred Heart actively involved in teacher training

Sacred Heart leads the West London Teacher Training Alliance, actively recruiting potential teachers for over 50 schools across London.  Our staff attended a Department for Education teacher training recruitment fair on Saturday at the London Hilton Metropole hotel in Paddington.  Training teachers in school is important for many reasons.  Firstly, with our staff acting as teacher trainers, it means that they get taught the very latest thinking on pedagogy. We keep at the very forefront of pedagogical expertise and pass this on to other teachers at Sacred Heart through regular CPD (continuing professional development) sessions.

Our involvement in teacher training also gives us access to a pool of newly qualified teachers which can help our own teacher recruitment at this level.

Our approach to trainee recruitment has always focussed on establishing a good fit between trainee applicants and the school.  We see trainees whose values align with those of the school.
