Inspiring Leaders Teacher Training Alumni Celebration - Leicester

Join us for the Inspiring Leaders Teacher Training Alumni Celebration, an evening to reconnect, celebrate and look ahead together. 

This beginning-of-year event brings together alumni and staff from across our community, hosted at Phoenix Cinema, one of Leicester's best independent cinema venues. Whether you trained with us recently or several years ago, come and celebrate how far you've come, surrounded by the kind of creative, independent spirit that shaped your training in the first place. 

What to expect 

Welcome & networking - Space to catch up as you arrive, whether it's with old friends or people you're meeting for the first time. 

Beyond 10 Years: A Celebration  - A decade of training the next generation of teachers has given us no shortage of great stories. Be inspired by alumni stories and keynote speakers sharing their experiences, insights and impact beyond the programme. 

Assessment Only Route Graduation Celebration - Join us in celebrating the success of our Assessment Only trainees as they graduate and take the next step in their teaching journey.   

Charity Quiz - Put your knowledge to the test and enjoy some friendly competition, all while supporting a worthwhile cause. 

Hear about leadership and CPD Opportunities - Find out about the latest leadership and professional development opportunities and ways to continue your learning journey with Inspiring Leaders. 

Supporting the next cohort - Whether that’s mentoring, helping with recruitment, sharing your story or running a session. Hear about the different ways you can give back and our new cohort of trainee teachers. 

Alumni socials - A look ahead to future get-togethers, some of them alongside our next cohort of trainees. From casual social plans to team sports (another rounders event could be on the horizon), these are touchpoints throughout the year to strengthen bonds and feel part of the community.
