Teacher Training in Peterborough
A teacher training provider for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire
Equalitas provides school-based Primary and Secondary teacher training leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), working in partnership with schools across Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and the wider region.
Our teacher training programmes combine experience in the classroom with expert-led training, supporting aspiring teachers to develop the knowledge, confidence and practice they need to become effective teachers.
Train to teach in Peterborough
School-based teacher training gives aspiring teachers the opportunity to develop their practice within the communities and schools in which they hope to build their careers.
With Equalitas, trainees spend four days each week developing their practice in school, alongside a dedicated training day. Training is delivered through a combination of in-person training days in London and online sessions, with trainees supported throughout the year by experienced mentors, Equalitas tutors and specialist subject and phase leads.
Our evidence-informed curriculum connects theory with classroom practice, giving trainees opportunities to develop, apply and refine their teaching throughout the year.
For aspiring teachers in Peterborough and the surrounding area, this approach combines experience in a local school with expert-led training and connection to the wider Equalitas Community of Experts.
We train teachers to be thinkers, researchers, and leaders. We are shaping a profession that doesn’t settle for less - but works tirelessly to raise the standard of education for every child.
