Role of Teaching School Hubs

TS Hubs will deliver ITT in their area, either as school-based training with lead partner or as a SCITT provider or partner school.

Routes into Teaching 

There are many routes into our exciting and dynamic profession, from Higher Education Institution (HEI), School Centred Initial Teacher training (SCITT) and School Direct to Assessment Only routes and Teacher Apprenticeships.

SCITTs and School Direct lead schools can offer ITT through the following routes:

Provider-led :

Where a tuition fee is payable to the ITT provider to cover the cost of teaching and training. Training places are held by the ITT provider. Bursaries are available for eligible trainees. You can find out more about the provision in Cornwall here.

School-based training (fee-funded):

A school partnership works with an ITT provider to which a tuition fee is payable to cover the cost of training. Training places are held by the lead school. Trainees may be eligible for a bursary or scholarship.

School-based training (salaried):

A school partnership works with an ITT provider and the trainee is employed within the school partnership. Training places are held by the lead school for the partnership in which the trainee is employed. Schools could be paid a training grant for qualifying subjects.

Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship:

A school partnership works with an ITT provider that is on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) and the apprentice is employed within the school partnership. Training places are held by the lead school on behalf of the partnership in which the apprentice is employed. This is an employment-based route where the trainee is employed for the duration of the course (a minimum of 12 months), which includes an additional apprenticeship end-point assessment following the award of QTS.
