Find a place where you belong
At the BLP, we're a family set on changing lives locally. Not only will you quickly become an integral part of your school community, you'll also be part of something bigger. We'll teach you how to form great relationships with students and their families so that your impact extends beyond the classroom.
Small, but mighty
We're proud of our national partnerships with world leaders in education. As a Lead Partner of Ted Wragg Teacher Training and with our PGCE delivered by the University of Exeter, it goes without saying that our partners support us in delivering excellent teacher training. We are also delighted to work with Steplab, a world-class coaching platform, that ensure our trainees receive excellent development every week.
At the forefront of teacher development
Based upon deliberate practice and instructional coaching, we use the latest research and evidence to inform our teacher training design and delivery. Every week, you'll spend time developing great teacher habits in group rehearsal and will be coached by expert mentors.

What our trainee teachers say about us
What support will you receive?
Our expert leaders will be with you every step of the way. Our programme includes:
Your school orientation experience – before you start, you will have the opportunity to meet your colleagues and interact with pupils so that you can hit the ground running in September.
Classroom teaching – from the get-go, you’ll be in the classroom so that you can learn and have an impact straight away. You will observe, support, and team teach and also plan and deliver lessons for specific classes. Your tutor and mentor will support you to build up your independent teaching time throughout the year.
Weekly instructional coaching and learning to plan – every week, you will be observed by your in-school mentor so that they can offer you positive feedback and bite-sized improvement targets. Your mentor will help you to create effective lessons, developing your planning skills and giving you the opportunity to ask detailed subject-knowledge questions.
Weekly training – in-person training with your peers, including seminars and lectures to develop your knowledge of teaching theory and pedagogy and dedicated time for deliberate practice of critical teacher behaviours and habits.
Our Schools
Founded in 2016, The Brigshaw Learning Partnership is a family of seven schools, all committed to providing exceptional education for the East Leeds community.
You will be placed at one of our amazing schools for your main placement. From the get-go, you'll spend 4 days a week in this school and one day a week in training with your tutor and other trainees.
At some point in the year, you will complete a second school placement at another school (likely to be in the spring term). There will be additional opportunities to visit other educational settings throughout the year.
