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.

The Department for Education has unveiled its vision for schools in England in its white paper,&nbsp;Opportunity for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child.Northamptonshire Teaching School Hub welcomes the emphasis on the Golden Thread in supporting&nbsp;schools&nbsp;to deliver ambitious targets and how this places the work of TSH at the centre of school support.<h3>Executive Summary</h3><ol><li>This government’s Levelling Up mission for schools is that by 2030, 90% of children will leave primary school having achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, up from 65% in 2019. In the worst performing areas, the percentage of children meeting the expected standard will improve by a third. This white paper adds to that goal, seeking to lift the attainment of all secondary pupils by setting an ambition to increase the national GCSE average grade in both English language and in maths from 4.5 in 2019 to 5 by 2030. These ambitions will be the measure of this white paper’s success.&nbsp;</li><li>The best schools are realising these standards already, but our aim is to achieve these excellent outcomes for children and young people nationally. We will do this through two key principles: a rigorous commitment to using, building and sharing evidence so that every school knows ‘what works’ for all of their children; and a focus on enabling collaboration between teachers, schools and wider children’s services so that every child is supported to realise their full potential.&nbsp;</li><li> At the heart of these ambitions is the need for an excellent teacher for every child in classrooms across England. Improving the quality of teaching is the single most important in-school factor in improving outcomes for children, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).&nbsp;We know that great teachers are made, not born. That is why we are delivering the single biggest programme of teacher development ever undertaken in this country and investing further in the skills and futures of the professionals who are central to our mission. We will deliver:&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">500,000 teacher training and development opportunities by 2024, giving all teachers and school leaders access to world-class, evidence-based training and professional development at every stage of their career.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Specialist training to drive better literacy through a new National Professional Qualification for Leading Literacy; a new National Professional Qualification for Early Years Leadership; and up to £180m investment in the early years’ workforce, including training for early years practitioners to support literacy and numeracy teaching.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">£30,000 starting salaries to attract and retain the very best teachers – with additional incentives to work in the schools with the most need.&nbsp;</li><li>However, great teaching does not exist in isolation: schools must offer a calm, orderly, safe and supportive environment where children are keen and ready to learn, and where teachers are empowered to focus on delivering the best possible lessons. We will provide free ready-made resources, guidance and lessons, designed in partnership with teachers and experts, which will reduce teachers’ workload and allow them to focus on responding to the needs of their class. We will support schools to secure the fundamentals of behaviour, attendance and wellbeing for all, driving down incidents of poor behaviour and increased absence following the pandemic. We will deliver:&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A new arms-length curriculum body that works with teachers across the country to co-create free, optional, adaptable digital curriculum resources to deliver a rigorous, high-quality curriculum.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A richer, longer average school week of at least 32.5 hours which makes the most effective use of time in school and ensures children enjoy a rounded education.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Better behaviour and higher attendance through more effective use of data, including an annual behaviour survey and a national data system to drive up attendance and make it easier for agencies to protect vulnerable children.&nbsp;</li><li>World-class teachers and high standards in curriculum, behaviour and attendance are critical for success but we know – as the best schools and trusts do – that many children need additional, targeted support to help them achieve their potential, and that this must come as quickly as possible. This requires a focus from every teacher, school and trust in the country to identify children at risk of missing out and deliver the right combination of academic, pastoral and specialist support they need to thrive, including wider children’s services where needed. We will secure the game-changing tools and interventions they need to do so. We will deliver:&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A Parent Pledge that your school will provide evidence-based support if your child falls behind in English or maths and tell you about their progress.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Up to 6 million tutoring courses by 2024 with action to cement one-to-one and small group tuition as a permanent feature of our school system.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A secure future for the Education Endowment Foundation putting our independent, ‘what works’ centre on a long-term footing and placing the generation and mobilisation of evidence at the heart of our education system.&nbsp;</li><li>Alongside this support, government must also play its part to ensure that the school system as a whole raises standards for children, making sure these improvements are felt fairly across England. That is why we want to spread the benefits of the best multi academy trusts so that every child learns with the benefits of a strong, supportive family of schools. To ensure that is the case, we must create a system with clear roles and accountability. It is only through a collaborative system in which everyone involved in education plays their part that we will achieve our literacy and numeracy mission. We will deliver:&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A fully trust led system with a single regulatory approach, which will drive up standards through the growth of strong trusts and the establishment of new ones, including trusts established by local authorities.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">A clear role for every part of the school system, with local authorities empowered to champion the interests of children and a new collaborative standard requiring trusts to work constructively with all other partners.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Education Investment Areas to increase funding and support to areas in most need, plus extra funding in priority areas facing the most entrenched challenges.</li><li>Taken together, these steps will support children to achieve their potential wherever they live and whatever their background, following the wider vision of giving everyone the opportunity to flourish which this government set out in the Levelling Up White Paper.</li></ol> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1063602/Opportunity_for_all_strong_schools_with_great_teachers_for_your_child__print_version_.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read the full White Paper here</a>

NPQ Registration Open for Autumn 2022

Northamptonshire Teaching School Hub offers the chance to follow the exciting Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) training programme leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) across a range of subjects and age stages. Our strong, ever-growing, network of expertise means that we are at the forefront of innovative practice in this area.Completion and employment rates are high. Trainee satisfaction is also at a very high level, as shown by the evaluations of the course; the university training, the opportunity to discuss issues with peers, the level of support and the feeling of being valued are all particularly appreciated.School Direct PGCE with the Universities of Northampton (Primary) and Leicester (Secondary, various subjects)School Direct is a school-led teacher training route, where participating schools recruit and select their own trainees in collaboration with the university providers. Northamptonshire Teaching School Hub is delighted to be working in partnership with University of Leicester and University of Northampton, for our secondary and primary training respectively. Through this partnership, we have harnessed the best and most innovative expertise from universities and schools within the Alliance to provide a training programme of the highest standards. Almost all the trainees recruited onto our School Direct programme have secured employment within the Hub schools; an indicator for the quality of our programme and of our commitment to providing high exemplary training and support for our trainees.For this programme, we have combined the best elements from a range of training routes, ensuring that trainees graduate from the course feeling supported, confident, and well equipped for teaching. We take pride in ensuring that all our Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are provided with excellent opportunities for career development and receive high quality ongoing support. So, if you are looking for an exciting new career that is underpinned with a passion and commitment to improving the life chances of young people, take a look at the various programmes we have on offer.Our current programmes take in a range of secondary teaching subjects, as well as the primary phase across Key Stage 1 and 2.<h2>Current Secondary PGCE Subject Options:</h2><ul><li>Biology</li><li>Chemistry</li><li>English</li><li>History</li><li>Mathematics</li><li>Modern languages: French, French with German, French with Spanish, Spanish with French</li><li>Physics</li><li>Religious Education</li></ul> <h2>Why School Direct PGCE?</h2>A PGCE is a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education and can be completed as a Core or a School Direct PGCE. The universities may well offer both. Our School Direct PGCE offer combines the best elements of the PGCE with other fully school-based courses. This means that you get the slower phased introduction to your classroom experience characterised by the Core PGCE, and you also receive the high-quality University lecture support, often taught in parallel with other PGCE courses. But with the School Direct, you become an integral part of our Hub school communities, with the bespoke support of a school-based mentor, a co-tutor, of equal importance to your university-based tutor. Our school community will get to know you well during your two school placements in the year, and many of our School Direct graduates look to apply within our hub of schools when looking for their first teaching post to continue the ‘golden thread’ of their teaching career with us.<h2>Exceptional academic and university partners</h2>We work with two prestigious university partners, located close to our schools in the East Midlands:<ul><li>The University of Northampton, our primary SD PGCE partner, has over forty years of successful experience in initial teacher training, education, and research. With new and purpose-built premises at the fabulous Waterside Campus close to the town centre, the University prides itself on its excellent primary teaching resources, many housed in a special section of its wonderful library. It is also proud of its approach to smaller workshop-style teaching when on site. The University was awarded a TEF Gold (see https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/advice/choosing-a-course/teaching-excellence-framework-tef-explained-what-it-means-for-you ) for many of these reasons.</li><li>The University of Leicester is our secondary SD PGCE partner and is housed near the centre of the of this vibrant city with excellent facilities at its School of Education housed close to the campus centre. Students can benefit from the excellent library facilities and the wealth of experience from the teaching staff. The School of Education holds a very prestigious reputation within the initial teacher training community and graduates from its courses are highly sought after by employers.</li></ul> Both of our university partners offered a structured and rigorous programme that will give you a firm start to your teaching career.<h2>A Bespoke Professional Development Programme</h2>All our programmes offer weekly training events with other trainees. This provides time for focused activities on teaching and learning, opportunities to innovate and invaluable time with your network of peers. These sessions are carefully tailored and personalised to your needs, ensuring that we are agile to your requirements as early-stage teachers, as you progress through your training year.<h2>Professional coaching support from experienced school-based mentors or co-tutors</h2>Across the Teaching School Alliance, we have a wide variety of different schools, enabling trainees to experience a wide range of different contexts, ensuring that all trainees are well prepared for their future career.Our co-tutors are chosen from expert practitioners who are keen to support your journey through to QTS. They all participate in university-based training for the role and are supported by an ITT Coordinator, who is often a member of the senior leadership team at the school you are working with. The Teaching School Hub chooses these colleagues very carefully and they are known for their warm and supportive approach to your development. They follow a coaching model, which allows you to talk through celebrations and challenges, as well as listening to you as you work through solutions. You will expect to be supported at every stage of your teaching through this first year; many of our students feel they become a valuable member of their departments very soon after their placement starts.You will be placed in two contrasting schools, in the primary phase in contrasting year groups, and will receive support from two co-tutors.<h3>All of our School Direct places will lead to QTS status and PGCE accreditation.</h3> <h2>School Direct Training and Academic Requirements</h2>To apply for this route you must meet the statutory requirements for initial teacher training. For secondary phase training, your degree should be at least 50% in the subject are in which you wish you teach, although in some cases we will also consider degrees that are closely linked e.g. an engineering degree for a science training place.Our university partners will place additional entry requirements on the undergraduate degree you hold. This is usually a 2:2 for the SD Primary PGCE and either a 2:1 or 2:2 for our secondary courses, the entrance grade depending on the subject studied.<h2>How to apply</h2>The application process is now managed directly through The Department for Education. You need to register to the ‘Apply’ site at https://www.apply-for-teacher-training.service.gov.uk/] and you can search for our courses there. If you would like more information about the fees and funding and routes please click here: Inspire the next generation | Get Into Teaching (education.gov.uk)Feel free also to contact our team of dedicated professionals here at the Hub if you have any questions. Please email: itt@northantstshub.org<h2>Look out for our open events!</h2>We are organising two open evenings, or mornings for you to talk to staff over a cup of tea or coffee and hear more about our programmes, as well as regular coffee mornings held at our lead school, Brooke Weston Academy, where you will also be able to tour the building and talk to our current student teachers.

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>
