ECT information

Image

These pages contain information and guidance for Head Teachers, School Staff and Governing Bodies and Early Career Teachers (ECTs).

Please read this information carefully as there are big changes from September 2023.

All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body for induction. This can be a Teaching School Hub, NTA, or Istip.

Due to DfE ECT reforms nationally, from September 2023 WBC will only be able to continue to act as the Appropriate Body for those ECTS already registered with us.  We will no longer be able to register new starters from September 2023.

From September 2023 WBC will be working in partnership with the Teaching School Hub Berkshire (TSH Berkshire) who will be acting as the local Teaching School Appropriate Body for Induction Assessment for the Berkshire area.

Schools can register their new starter ECTs for Induction via the TSH Berkshire Hub 

The following information is for ECTs cohort 2022-2024 already registered with WBC.

For all other ECTs, please consult your new provider.
