Teacher training in Sheffield and the Peak District

Teacher training in Sheffield and the Peak District

This hub is led by Silverdale School, an accredited provider of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Recognised by the Sunday Times as the Top State School in the North of the Decade in 2020.

This hub also offers the additional opportunity to train to be a teacher of Mandarin, thanks to our partnership with the Swire Chinese Language Foundation. Tapton School leads the Swire Chinese Language Centre in Sheffield and can offer relevant placements for our trainees.

Silverdale is part of the South Yorkshire Teaching Hub. Within this hub we have a strong network of existing primary, special and secondary schools in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. The hub’s success in training teachers in a range of subjects led to the Department for Education asking them to lead the National Modern Languages SCITT.
