Supporting schools in Bradford & Keighley for over 10 years
18 Primary Schools, 2 Secondary Schools, 1 amazing experience

Our schools have excellent transport links by rail or car. We border Leeds, North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Halifax and have a diverse and rewarding range of schools. We are a Catholic Partnership, but like lots of our children, parents and teachers, you do not have to be Catholic to be a part of what we do.
You will be immersed into school life straightaway, part of our family. You will receive bespoke on the job training from a mentor, overseen by our Lead Mentor. We provide much of the training in partnership with St Mary's Teaching School.
Training with CSPTSA has allowed me to experience teaching in amazing schools containing brilliant children. The support I received was outstanding and continuous. Working in a Catholic School provides an extremely supportive network within a family. The support continues from the CSPTSA as an NQT through into an RQT development programme. The CSPTSA give me support and allow me to ask for training in areas I feel I require to improve my career.

The training with the CSPTSA was supportive, flexible and ever-present. On completion of my course I was employed by a partnership school and I am now gaining further development on the RQT Programme, together with the other members of our original School Direct cohort.
