Investing in people and our community: Higher Learning Teaching Assistant Course

The Yorkshire Rose Teaching Partnership; the Trust’s arm for teacher training offers amazing support to both new and current staff across our Trust family of schools. As a Trust, training and development is something we’re really passionate about and having this fantastic offer within our wider team is truly valuable as we strive to advocate and support continued learning for people of all ages.

Currently the Yorkshire Rose Teaching Partnership is facilitating a Higher Learning Teaching Assistant (HLTA) course, which is being delivered by Leeds Trinity University.

There are 22 trainees on the course, from the BBEST schools in the Birstall and Batley area, 12 of whom are from our Trust schools, with all six schools represented. 64% of the trainees are over 30 and over half are working mothers, which is representative of our community and demonstrates how we endeavour to support the women in our local community with the careers pathways open to them.
