“We have a proven track record of supporting and bringing new, talented teachers into the profession through high quality training, delivered by experienced practitioners in our outstanding schools. The tailored Professional Development programme we provide ensures that our trainees can successfully progress on their chosen career path.”

The RSAA Teaching School Alliance is led by outstanding schools, which are designated teaching schools in their own right. Our schools are located in different areas across the Midlands; we can offer training in Birmingham, Dudley, Coventry, Redditch (South Birmingham), Worcestershire and Warwickshire.

We have the privilege of working in collaboration with Abbeywood First School RSA Academy in Church Hill who are a national teaching school. Abbeywood, in collaboration with the RSA, take a leading role in recruiting and training new entrants to the profession and can offer a range of Primary, First and Middle ITT options for 2020-21 in multiple locations.
