Mercia Learning Alliance

Mercia Learning Alliance’s vision is to become a centre of educational excellence with a national reputation. Their ethos is that ‘every professional in our alliance should strive to be the absolute best they can be.’ This places professional learning at the centre of all that they do and they see initial teaching training as integral to this.

Mercia Learning Alliance offers aspiring teachers a broad range of opportunities across subjects and key stages. Working with The University of Sheffield (Secondary) and The Sheffield SCITT (Primary), with a wide range of postgraduate qualifications on offer, you will have the opportunity to carry out your training in some of the best schools in the country, learning from inspirational teaching staff who are leaders in their field.

Their partnership schools are all committed to finding and developing their own teachers, therefore they are committed to their trainees. At Mercia Learning Alliance they want to ‘grow’ their own teachers, supporting you throughout your professional career from trainee all the way up to senior leader and beyond.

They offer unrivalled choice in terms of type of school and location across Sheffield to train and work in, but remain small enough to know every trainee as an individual enabling personalised training needs.
