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. This includes Strategic Partners of the TSH and you can find out more about their provision here.
National Professional Qualifications - The next cohorts of NPQs are recruiting fast and the application deadline for February 2023 is January 12th. All programme are fully funded - All teachers and leaders employed in state funded schools in England can access these National Professional Qualifications at no cost.

All CPD courses are now FREE for state-funded schools. This includes all full day and short courses both face to face and remote – click to see 2023 schedules – Summer Computing Secondary and Summer Computing Primary.
Plus there are additional subsidies for attendance at CPD
Subsidies of £205 are available for the first teacher to attend a full day primary course from a school located in an EIA area to support with supply costs (This includes Wolverhampton and Walsall Schools). This subsidy is available for the summer term regardless of if a subsidy has been used this academic year and will then be available once every academic year moving forward.
Subsidies for secondary courses are available to provide two days supply cover (£205 per day) for teachers to attend the Computer Science Accelerator (CSA) CPD, helping to develop teachers’ subject knowledge and skills without impacting pupils' lessons. This support is available to state-funded secondary schools and colleges in England.
-----------------------------------------
Utilising recommendations from the recent Ofsted science report “Finding the optimum” our local Science Hub is providing CPD on:
- Curriculum - A series of summer conferences for primary, secondary and technicians will help staff from schools to develop their understanding and skills in delivering effective practical work in schools and the implications for their wider team.
- Pedagogy and assessment – Sessions on Making Powerful Connections to Maths and Literacy in the Science Curriculum (15/5/23) and Key Stage 3 Science for Non-Science Specialists (23/6/23)
- Systems, subject and school level - Remote networks ensure staff at every level have access to subject support and development, these can be bespoke for groups local to your area if needed.
