Teacher Training with the Cardinal Hume Academy Trust
The Cardinal Hume Academy Trust provides the perfect platform to enable you to develop into an outstanding classroom Practitioner. As a trust, we achieve excellent teacher training success through our access to outstanding classroom teaching, exceptional mentoring to nurture your development and the excellent classroom behaviour of our students. Our aim is to consistently provide you with what you need to develop as a trainee teacher.
About the Cardinal Hume Academy Trust
The trust is a collection of three schools (with support of a fourth) led by Executive Head Teacher, Martin Tissot who has implemented policies that prioritise excellent behaviour for learning and pupil progress. This approach has led to significant progress in Ofsted ratings for all our schools since they joined the Trust and all are now regarded as outstanding or good. They are excellent environments in which to teach.

Our Training Programmes
We are highly experienced at providing school-based training and have a successful track record of guiding trainee teachers through a range of programmes: School Based Initial Teacher Training (previously known as Schools Direct), PGCE and Teach First. We have achieved this by working in close partnership with Canterbury Christchurch College, Roehampton University, Middlesex University, King’s College London and St Mary’s University to meet your training needs.
Our subject mentors are experienced teachers who are enthusiastic about your development and know what is required for you to succeed. We have designed a thorough programme of teacher training for you that is delivered by experienced staff, enabling you to learn new skills and forge professional relationships with experienced teachers within our schools.
Whilst you are fully supported by your University and will have training days at your university provider, as a school we provide you with weekly CPD (continued professional development) which cover a range of topics centred around the teacher training standards.
