Train To Teach with Exchange Teacher Training

Our Partnership

Northern Education Trust, in collaboration with a range of SCITTs, School Direct partners and multi-academy trusts, has contributed to creating a compelling vision for teacher training in Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East, and Lincolnshire. Delta Academies Trust entered a partnership application and were one of only eighty providers that were successfully accredited through round 1 (May 2022) with a further 99 providers accredited through round 2 (September 2022).

Our partnership is united by a shared moral purpose of improving the quality of education through great teaching and encompasses over 200 strong placement schools.

Exchange Teacher Training offers an ambitious, evidence informed programme to develop lifelong, reflective practitioners. Our teachers will inspire the next generation and improve the life chances of all learners.

Northern Education Trust is now operating as a Lead Delivery Partner for Exchange Teacher Training. We provide local support and expertise within the North East area, managing the recruitment processes and coordinating placement opportunities in local, credible schools. We will ensure you receive a high level of personalised feedback and support locally which places your progress and well-being at the heart of your training.
