The new DfE quality requirements for ITT are now in effect. 

The purpose of the new requirements is to ensure trainee teachers receive high quality training and for the ITT system to maintain capacity for delivering trainees to the profession and remaining beneficial to schools 

What has changed?

• Mentors are required to have completed 20 hours of mentor training and to provide a minimum of 1.5 hours of mentoring support per trainee per week.
• Introduction of Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP).

For a summary of the changes and how this impacts your school, please download our ITT Reforms 2024 flyer below:
