At Polaris, we believe that teaching and learning is our core business. Our focus on developing pedagogy is trust-wide, with every school in the Trust, leading CPD focused on the improvement of pedagogy.
The Trust is equally committed to the development of ECTs as it is to experienced professionals. The bespoke Trust programmes for ECTs, aspiring leaders and middle leader development are complimented by nationally accredited courses from the Ambition Institute. All these programmes are designed to ensure that the Trust succession plan develops its own team into teachers into great practitioners, middle and senior leaders.

Rastrick High School works alongside two ITT Providers to offer Secondary teaching training placements in school.
Kirklees and Calderdale SCITT is an established provider of Initial Teacher Training, rated Good in their OFSTED inspection last year and have been training teachers since 2003. They train Secondary teachers across all subjects and are able to offer placements across Kirklees and Calderdale in a range of different schools.
At Rastrick High School we are proud to host their trainees and work closely with the SCITT in providing placements year on year.
With this programme you would be in school from day one, four days a week and one day at central training.
Kirklees & Calderdale SCITT has an experienced core team of central trainers who come from differing backgrounds within Education, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to their central programme. This theoretical programme enhances and supports the school based learning.
