About Chorus Education Trust
- Chorus Education Trust
- c/o Silverdale School, Bents Crescent, Sheffield
- South Yorkshire
- S11 9QH
- United Kingdom
Chorus Education Trust was founded on Silverdale School, a popular and high achieving school in the south west of Sheffield, that was named the Top State Secondary in the North of the Decade by the Sunday Times for 2020.
We believe that every child in our region deserves the best education possible, and we know that there is outstanding expertise across our region that can be harnessed to make this happen. That means drawing on one of the biggest strengths in the education world – the willingness to share, support and collaborate.
Working with both primary and secondary schools in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, we are working to build a trust that provides the very best education for young people, where ever they live.
At the heart of the trust is the South Yorkshire Teaching Hub, which supports more than 318 schools within the Sheffield and Rotherham area. One of the initial six hubs awarded teaching school hub status in 2020, it is now one of the 87 National Teaching School Hubs and has been redesignated to continue its vital work until 2028.
Tasked with delivering the golden threads of ITT, ECF, AB and the entire NPQ suite on behalf of the DfE and our extended educational family, the hub has a real impact on local and national recruitment, development and retention. Under its organisational umbrella sits the Sheffield Teacher Training Alliance (STTA) which has over 11 years' experience of delivering ITT within our region and the National Modern Languages SCITT (NML SCITT) which has over 6 years' experience of delivering national teacher training across the state and independent sector.
