Waingels has a long and successful record in teacher training. We are fully supportive of those wishing to enter the profession and committed to continuing professional development. Over the years, we have embedded a network of trained mentors across all departments and have developed our own professional studies programme. We have also developed strong partnership links with many institutions. We have supported trainees from Reading University, the University of Oxford, Oxford Brookes, The Open University, Equalitas and others.
