Train to Teach

All schools that offer a statutory induction are required to have an AB for their Early Career Teachers (ECTs) – formerly known as NQTs. As a Teaching School Hub, we will provide AB services to meet the needs of our county across all phases and settings.

We are optimistic and aspirational that every teacher in Northamptonshire, at every stage of their career, is supported and encouraged to not just stay in teaching, but to thrive.
