A Mark Of Quality

IFtL CPD and MKITT (Milton Keynes Initial Teacher Training) is led by Sarah Hand.

Sarah has been teaching for more than 20 and less than 25 years and brings a wealth of experience to her role. She has worked as a teacher, a Senior Leader and a Specialist Leader of Education and has been involved in training teachers at different points in their journey for many years. Locally, she has been known in recent years for her science training which is practical, innovative, engaging and informative (and often a bit messy!). She has extensive experience working closely with teachers and support staff to raise their impact on children’s learning and enjoys the challenge of curriculum development and assessment.

Ranked ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, the Two Mile Ash Initial Teacher Training Partnership (MKITT) is the longest-running, most well-established primary teacher training provider serving Milton Keynes and its surrounding areas. Established in 2002 we have consistently provided the local area with hundreds of high-quality primary school teachers in that time.  MKITT is proud to be one of 29 providers in the UK who have had their 3-year provision allocated. Further demonstrating the quality of our provision.

The Partnership was also selected by Ofsted as one of its first eight published case studies of good practice, because of our trainees drive and focus on pupil learning. Along with being highlighted in a National Publication for exceptional SEND provision for teacher training.

All trust schools benefit from working in close collaboration with Milton Keynes Initial Teacher Training.
