# Alumni in the Spotlight: Julia’s journey from Twyford Trust Student to Teacher Trainee

  ![Image of Alumni in the Spotlight: Julia’s journey from Twyford Trust Student to Teacher Trainee ](https://files.schudio.com/teach-west-london/images/blog/website_banner(4).png)  24 April 2026   [Deshnee Govender](https://teachwestlondon.org.uk/blog/author/DeshneeG)   [Initial Teacher Training ](https://teachwestlondon.org.uk/blog/category/initial-teacher-training)

We’re delighted to have 7 ITT trainees training with us this year who were previously students at the Twyford Trust schools in which we hold our Professional Learning Days every Monday.

The latest issue of the Alumni Newsletter features an interview with Julia, a former Twyford Trust student now thriving as a PE trainee. Her story is a great example of how Trust alumni continue to grow, succeed and inspire the next generation of students.

We’re incredibly proud of the Trust’s Alumni community and look forward to sharing more stories like Julia’s in the future.

You can read Julia’s full interview in the latest Alumni Newsletter [here](https://files.schudio.com/twyford-cofe-academies-trust/files/documents/Alumni_Newsletter_Spring_26.pdf).

Explore all editions of the Alumni Newsletter, including an interview with ITT Trainee, Amber Alleyne (Winter 2025 edition) and Zoe Owusu (Summer 2025 edition) on the Trust’s [Alumni Programme webpage.](https://twyfordacademies.org.uk/about-us/twyford-trust-alumni-form)
