ITT Reforms 2024

Through an expert advisory group and consultation, the Department for Education (DfE) conducted a review of ITT with the aim to make well informed, evidence-based recommendations on how to make sure:

• all trainees receive high quality training in the ITT market;
• the ITT market maintains the capacity to deliver enough trainees and is accessible to candidates;
• the ITT system benefits all schools.

The quality requirements include new mentoring arrangements to ensure mentors are well trained in how to be a mentor, to understand the ITT Core Content Framework (CCF) and underpinning evidence, and the ITT curriculum the training is following, so that they can effectively support the trainee's progress during school placements. There are also new quality requirements relating to the curriculum, assessment and progression of trainees, and quality assurance.
