‘I really enjoyed doing my training at Calthorpe, I was offered so much support and guidance and it was great feeling part of the school community. The Professional Studies programme arranged by the school offered useful and interesting insights which really helped me develop my professionalism as well as increasing my awareness of different aspects of education. My mentor was great, and the school helped me every step of the way.’#
