We enable all schools to have access to the best knowledge and expertise that leads to the best chances of improving the quality of education and outcomes for all children.

With the significant changes to schools and how they induct their ECTs from September 2021, we welcome you to join our briefing on the early career framework and changes to the Statutory Induction of Early Career Teachers.

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.

With some lead providers saying different things about how flexible the new national professional qualification programmes (NPQs) are, it is not surprising that teachers and school leaders ask “how flexible are the new NPQs?”In short, the content of the NPQs is fixed, though the way we deliver the programmes to participants allows for some flexibility. One important element in this is the fact the NPQs have changed a great deal and they require both programme participants and lead providers to approach the qualifications in new ways.<a href="https://www.ambition.org.uk/blog/how-flexible-are-new-npqs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read the full article here via our partners in professional development, Ambition Institute</a>.<a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=vKCZSi63gkqAxuiwMPI6wV1G2ZZLgb5BmMFxsUg77HdUMEg0NTBXV05GMFZQVURTN0JZTllaNEdCUS4u" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Register for the NPQs</a><a href="https://northamptonshireteachingschoolhub.org/articles/5791" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Find out more about the suite of NPQs</a>
