What our trainees say

“The training I received with Lionheart Teach was immensely supportive. Mentors and staff coordinating the programme are fantastic at providing the right amount of support and guidance, but also knowing when to step back and let you take the reins.

Training to teach felt incredibly daunting at first, but through my time at Beauchamp College and The Cedars Academy, I felt encouraged and enthused.”
