Initial Teacher Education in our area.

TSHs have a new role in deepening engagement with ITT in our local area, connecting schools and ITT providers and developing news ways to highlight initial teacher training opportunities and increase the flow of excellent teachers into our schools.

Want to get your school more involved in ITT?  Join one of our Spotlight on ITT sessions for a short briefing and to ask questions on either Thursday 16th November    (08:00 – 08:45)    or Thursday 16th November (16:00 – 16:45). Click here to register for one of these virtual sessions.

We have also launched a Survey to ask Headteachers about engagement with ITT so that we can work out how we can further support local schools – click here to respond to the survey.

Good News for Small Schools - Is your school less than 600 pupils? Then you can get ADDITIONAL Support Funding to retain and train your staff.  In addition to the full scholarship funding for all state-maintained schools and academies, the DfE are providing additional payments to small schools to help support your leaders to undertake NPQs.

We know that smaller schools often don’t have the resources to promote top talent, but we know that staff value your commitment to their progression and training and that this can help retention. So take the opportunity to access an additional grant payment of £200 (or £800) for each employed teacher or leader who participates in an NPQ*. This is funding that you can use in any way to make engagement more possible, e.g. cover costs.

*The latest funding can be found on the DFE site and offers £800 to schools smaller than 150 pupils, £200 to all primary schools and £200 to secondary schools less than 600 pupils. 

Teacher Training - Huge congratulations to the Teacher Training institutions in the West Midlands who have been reaccredited to continue building teacher training provision locally – Click here for the full National List.
