The Equalitas Primary QTS Celebration Day brought together our 2026 Primary cohort to celebrate the successful completion of their Initial Teacher Training year and the achievement of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Throughout the day, each new teacher was presented with their QTS certificate and Equalitas Transformer Award badge before being welcomed into our growing alumni community. Below, you can watch keynote messages from our programme and subject leads, together with a selection of photographs capturing the day’s celebrations.
