Each ECT will have a mentor assigned to support them during their first 2 years.

Mentor support covers the ECT’s training programme and the wider aspects of their development as a new teacher.

Mentor training is now delivered over one year. The training is delivered by the teaching school hub in partnership with Ambition Institute.
