Red Kite is a great course, tailored to the individual's experience and needs. Dedicated specialists deliver fantastic sessions and school mentors are highly skilled in giving guidance and feedback. The team have been fully supportive and have guided me at every turn to ensure I have had a successful teacher training year. As a result I am now employed!

The course is a fantastic way into teaching, especially for those worried about a lack of prior teaching experience. From day 1 you are guided on your teaching journey, provided with different ideas and teaching practices to apply to your own classroom. The nature of the course being based on direct experience gained from the classroom helps to develop confidence, best practise and to build your repertoire of skills needed for your future career. It also allows for the opportunity to learn directly from current professionals rather than just from academic theory. The RedKite staff are continuously helpful, ready to support you throughout the entire year. They really are the stars of the course and it would be a diminished experience without them!
Absolutely fantastic training course. I felt completely prepared to start my NQT year, couldn’t recommend enough!
I've just completed my teacher training with Red Kite, and (despite being part of the COVID cohort) couldn't feel more ready to begin my NQT year! The SCITT course is very well designed, and involves a good blend of professional development days throughout the 2 placements. The programme felt very individualised and I was able to control the pace, whilst still feeling very supported! My mentors and ITT coordinators at both my placements were amazing - each made me feel like a colleague from the very start rather than a burden. The support with employment helped me secure a role for September before Christmas, which was a huge weight off. I'd definitely recommend Red Kite Teacher Training!
RKTT is a brilliant teacher training route and one I've recommended to so many. The support you receive whilst training is like no other ITT provider. Not only do you have your in-school mentor, but you also have a TPL, and a subject lead to support you along the way. As they are part of the Red Kite Alliance, we had access to 40 schools, which meant that aside from the two main placements in contrasting schools, we had extra mini-placements throughout the year, so we really felt so prepared when starting our NQT year. Not only this, but the SCITT team support you immensely when it comes to finding employment after training. They'll help with your application, interview techniques inc. holding mock interviews, as well as an 'employment day' where Headteachers from schools across the alliance come to discuss their school, chat with trainees, give out employment packs etc. Having spoken to many other teachers about their training experience, I'm so glad I chose to train with RKTT.
I completed the SCITT course two years ago and was well supported throughout by my mentors, Trainee Progress Leader and Course Leader. I didn’t have experience of working in education prior to the course but it gave me the skills and knowledge I needed for successful NQT and RQT years. This year I have had the pleasure of mentoring two Red Kite students who have, themselves, benefitted from fantastic training from Red Kite specialists and the University of Leeds as well as independent and collaborative learning. Before I joined the Red Kite SCITT course I was told it was the best in the area and I can see why!
