Vision
Training Schools are outstanding schools who work with others to provide high quality training and development to new and experienced school staff.
The PTSA has a commitment to achieving excellence in teaching, learning and school leadership. Our goal is to appoint the highest calibre of teachers in our schools.
We aim to inspire, motivate and develop our teachers to become outstanding practitioners, managers and leaders in our school, fully equipped to adapt to the needs of learners.
We will provide high quality training to meet the needs of teaching staff at different stages within their career.
