The James Montgomery Academy Trust, which runs several schools in and around Rotherham, has recruited a wealth of talent from a pool of students training to become primary school teachers in 2018.

And Amy Mapplebeck, Josh Harrison, Amy Shaw, Daniel Kempton, Daniel Hawkins, Emma Booker and Jordan Doherty will stay on at the schools for next year.

Natalie Wood, from JMAT, said: “Our quality assurance personnel — Jill Carr and Dianne Harris — share their wealth of knowledge and experience with the students in their training and will continue to support them as they become New Qualified Teachers in our schools.

“Well done to all of them for their efforts, hard work, determination and commitment.”
