Our SWIFT Teacher Training Central Administrative Office is based at Kingsbridge Community College (an ESW school). ​

Devon Research School

Devon Research School is a part of a national network of research schools that represent the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) across the region. Devon Research School shares what we know about putting research into practice and supports schools to make use of evidence to inform teaching and learning.

Now Teach

We work with Now Teach who support people coming into teaching with experience in other industries. Joining their national network gives access to bespoke advice, coaching and support to help career changes thrive in their new profession.

Colyton Grammar School

Colyton Grammar School (CGS) is the lead for Colyton Teaching School Hub (CTSH) and a co-founding Trust of SWIFT Teaching School Hubs. CGS is a key strategic partner, sitting on the SWIFT Teacher Training Strategic Board and supporting Course Design as an Expert Partner. In addition, CGS is the Main Office and Secondary Lead for our East Devon and Dorset Campus. ​

Trust Partners

We are proud to partner with a wide range of high-quality Schools and Multi Academy Trusts, selected because they have a strong commitment to teacher training, provide high-quality education and offer expertise in both teaching and teacher development.

These partnerships are another way for you to train with confidence.
