Information for schools

At Inspiration Teaching School Hub, we understand that the Initial Teacher Education landscape is sometimes difficult for schools to navigate. We hope we can answer questions here that schools might want to consider before offering a placement for a trainee.

The Department for Education (DfE) has provided clear guidance here for schools who want to consider placing a trainee, to explain what is involved in the process. This document gives an overview of school placements, how to offer an ITT placement, what happens before the ITT placement begins and during the placement and what we mean by offering intensive training and practice (ITaP).

You can also find out more about what it would mean to host a trainee here and can read about ITaP here.
