High Potential Initial Teacher Training and Leadership Development Programme (2021 Cohort)

The Authority has appointed a Contractor to deliver a single national contract for the provision of the High Potential Initial Teacher Training and Leadership Development Programme. The Programme is intended to attract high quality graduates and career changers who might not otherwise have considered teaching or working in disadvantaged schools into teaching and place them in schools serving low income communities with high numbers of disadvantaged and low attaining pupils ("Eligible Schools "). Programme participants will be employed to fill vacancies, undertake employment-based initial teacher training (ITT) and contribute to the Eligible Schools' overall improvement.
