If you have an unqualified teacher working in your school, then we'd be keen to discuss our Assessment Only Route to support them to qualify.
This consists of a 12-week assessment process, resulting in QTS. The cost is £2950 plus VAT, including a non-refundable £500 for an initial assessment visit. Minimum requirements for the assessment only route are:
The applicant will need to be working at Teachers’ Standards already, without the need for any training.
If they are not, a salaried SCITT training route might be the better option.
A comparison between assessment only and a salaried SCITT is here.
The applicant will need to have independently planned and taught classes for at least two years.
If you are a teaching assistant, please refer to Get into Teaching, where is states that “it’s unlikely you’ll have the experience required for assessment only.”
The applicant will need to have worked in at least two different schools; their current school can count as one of these.
A school may decide to arrange a second school experience when exploring the potential of this route, if needed.
The applicant will need a UK degree. Secondary applicants must have a subject relevant degree. Candidates with a 2:2 will be considered.
Primary: will also need GCSEs or equivalent at grade C/4 or above in English, Mathematics and Science.
Secondary: will also need GCSEs or equivalent at grade C/4 or above in English and Mathematics.
