KMT celebrates the 2026 QTS Award Evening

KMT Awards 2026

KMT was delighted to celebrate the award of Qualified Teacher Status to our 2026 cohort at this year’s QTS Award Evening.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to recognise the hard work, commitment and achievement of our trainees as they reached this important milestone in their teaching journey.

Across the evening, trainees collected their certificates, celebrated with colleagues and reflected on everything they have achieved throughout their training year. It was a proud moment not only for the trainees themselves, but also for the mentors, schools and KMT team members who have supported them along the way.

Achieving QTS is a significant accomplishment. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as our trainees move forward as fully qualified teachers, ready to make a positive difference in schools and classrooms.

Congratulations to every member of the 2026 cohort. We are incredibly proud of your achievement and look forward to seeing the impact you will make in your teaching careers.
