Initial teacher training

As part of their initial teacher training (ITT), all trainees will spend time in a school. The benefits for the trainee are clear – but there are also significant advantages for the school.
The Teacher Training Resource Bank (TTRB) includes resources that explain why and how working with trainees can benefit your school. The Qualifying to teach guidance handbook aims to help everyone involved in ITT to understand the aims and the scope of the training itself and the standards for qualified teacher status (QTS). You can download the handbook from this page.
