Our Partnerships

Lydiate Learning Trust’s Associated Merseyside Partnership SCITT is proud to collaborate with a network of schools and educational institutions committed to delivering exceptional teacher training. Our partnerships ensure that trainee teachers gain practical experience in diverse, supportive, and dynamic learning environments, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed for a successful career in education.

Our partners across the North West include primary schools, secondary schools and other partners.

Multi-Academy Trust Partnerships

For Multi Academy Trusts looking to secure a future-proof talent pipeline, AMP SCITT offers a sustainable workforce strategy.

Control Your Supply Chain

With AMP SCITT, you can shape and develop new teachers within your Trust. Our school-based model embeds trainees into your culture, vision, and standards from day one — reducing reliance on external recruitment and expensive agencies.

Elevate Standards Across All Schools

By involving your senior staff in mentoring, coaching, and professional study, you not only support ITT but also raise the bar in your existing team. The reflective nature of coaching is a proven driver of staff development, retention, and future leadership.

Tailored Training 

We understand MATs need flexibility. AMP SCITT works across primary, secondary, and SEND, and we offer routes with specialisms (e.g. PE, Maths, Engineering, MFL). Training content is aligned to the realities of local schools — not a generic national model.

Financial Benefits

Placement fees, direct recruitment from your own pipeline, and reduced turnover mean real savings. Our model supports both efficiency and quality — a rare combination.

Strategic Growth with Trusted Partners

We’re not just a provider — we’re a partner. Our MAT relationships are built on collaboration, responsiveness, and shared ambition to grow great teachers and great schools.

School Partnerships

Schools are the engine of teacher development — and at AMP SCITT, we place your school at the centre of that process.

When you partner with us, you gain much more than a trainee. You gain:

Immediate Capacity

Trainees support lessons, interventions, extracurricular clubs, and revision sessions from the start — providing tangible value to staff and students alike.

Cost-Effective Recruitment

Many schools go on to employ their trainees, cutting out costly agency fees and advertising spend. You’re not just training teachers — you’re growing your future colleagues.

Professional Development for Your Team

Your staff benefit from high-quality CPD through our structured mentoring and coaching programme, boosting confidence, leadership skills, and retention.

A Voice in Teacher Training

Our programme is designed with schools. You’ll have influence in trainee recruitment, programme content, and delivery — ensuring relevance and responsiveness.

Financial Recognition

We offer generous placement fees: Home placement: £1,800, Away placement: £600
