Although Silverdale has since established Chorus Education Trust, we don't believe multi-academy trusts are a barrier to partnership working. Indeed, we are keen to learn from other trusts and schools. The only common ingredient needed is a commitment to providing the very best education possible for our young people, by empowering colleagues to be the very best teachers, leaders and professionals in the country.
The STSA leadership is based at Silverdale School with an administrative office where all the central functions of the STSA is carried out. We can be contacted on enquiries@sheffieldtsa.org or by completing our contact form.
We train teachers for early years, primary, special and secondary schools, via School Direct. Working in partnership with both Sheffield universities, we provide supportive training, rooted in the very best classroom practice.
Many of our trainees get their first teaching post before they have even finished our course - with the vast majority gaining jobs within six months of completing it.
As a result of our success recruiting and training modern languages teachers through School Direct, we worked with the Department for Education to establish the first ever national, subject specific SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training).
The course was also the first partnership of its kind between state and independent schools - thereby providing trainees with increased career opportunities at the end of the course.
Our Appropriate Body provides an NQT induction package that includes training for your school's NQT tutors and mentors.
Our highly experienced team can provide advice and support all year round, and help you manage the paperwork through a simple, online system.
