From September 2024, following the DfE's review, initial teacher training (ITT) will change. 

The DfE are introducing new quality requirements to ensure trainee teachers receive high-quality training and the ITT system can maintain the capacity to deliver trainees to the profession, therefore remaining beneficial to schools. 

What is changing?

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

For a summary of the changes and how this will impact your school, download our ITT Reforms 2024 flyer here.

You can also download the DfE's ITT Reforms Information For Schools slide deck here.
