‘Our school warmly welcomes the high-quality trainees from the University of Hertfordshire. The support they receive from the University is second to none and all our staff and pupils benefit hugely from having such vibrant and enthusiastic trainees working and learning alongside us. It is no coincidence that a large percentage of my teachers trained at the University of Hertfordshire’
