Training teachers so every child enjoys a life of choice and opportunity
Get the best from the class
We’ll help you learn how to get the best from the classroom and your students: knowing which strategies to use and when to use them so that you can make a difference to their learning. You’ll develop the confidence to lead and teach.
Part of our community
You will be a fully integrated member of your school community and an integral part of the Reach family. We guide you how to form great relationships, shape the next generation and make a difference in your community.
Develop great habits
There are lots of things competing for your attention in the classroom: the subject you’re teaching and 30 young faces in front of you. We coach and support you to engage in deliberate and focussed practice so you develop the habits that get the best results.

“I couldn’t have picked a better place to train”
My experience has been great. I couldn’t have picked a better place to train. I think everything I’ve learnt and the person I was a year ago is completely different now.

I feel 100% prepared to be a full time teacher by myself. The support we receive, not only from our teacher trainers but just all of the staff has been amazing.
