Celebrating the growth and development of our early careers teachers’

Our annual ITT and ECT conference celebrated the growth and development of our early careers teachers’ collective commitment to lifelong learning. 

The event, which was held at Hunton Park on 9  June marked a moment of joy as we celebrated the invaluable contribution that new teachers at DET: The Partnership make to our learners’ futures. 

Our new cohort of trainees and Early Career Teachers have worked hard to show that education is a journey that requires adaptation and growth where collective wisdom and collaboration are key. We were fortunate to be joined by Rob Carpenter as our Keynote speaker who shared with us his Manifesto for Excellence. He inspired the audience with his unbridled commitment to making a real and lasting difference to children’s lives at school. 

Nikki Railton helped us to celebrate the success of learner engagement through the Learner Voice Council. Learners from across our primary and secondary schools showcased how hard they have worked to discuss and understand how they learn and why they grow - both in and outside of the classroom. 

At Danes Educational Trust, we learn from one another, to share our success and challenges, and to build a network of support that strengthens us all. Our newest teachers have shown that despite the ongoing challenges, they can amplify our vision and have real impact which will help to shape the future generation of learners.
