Testimonials

• Being part of the Hull Citywide Graduate Teacher
  programme has been the most beneficial and
  challenging experience I have ever embarked upon.
  The support I have received in all aspects of my
  training has been impeccable and faultless. I
  have found sharing good practice is the only way
  to progress in teaching and through the meetings
  and training we have received through the Hull
  Citywide programme this has always been possible
