This week marked the end of the training year for our wonderful Primary and Secondary trainee teachers, bringing an incredible year of learning, growth and achievement to a close.

During their final centre-based training sessions at CTTC, trainees took part in a range of celebratory activities, including our much-loved annual Newspaper Catwalk challenge. The event is always a highlight of the year, giving trainees the opportunity to work together creatively while reflecting on the friendships and teamwork they have developed throughout their training.

As they prepare to complete their programmes and begin their teaching careers in September, we are immensely proud of everything they have accomplished. Their dedication, resilience and commitment to becoming outstanding teachers has been evident throughout the year, and we know they will make a real difference to the children and young people they will teach.

We now look forward to welcoming the Class of 2026, together with their families, friends, mentors and school colleagues, to our Celebration Evening next week, where we will formally recognise and celebrate their achievements.

Congratulations to each and every one of our trainees – we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
