Induction Services for Independent Schools

The introduction of the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) is a big step forward in more closely aligning Initial Teacher Training (ITT) with early career development in line with the DfE Golden Thread strategy for teacher development. It outlines the 3-year progression and support package that all teachers are entitled to, helping them to build the strongest foundation for a long and successful career in education.

From September 2025, all new early career teachers will access an Early Career Teacher Programme (ECTP) and Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE) that is underpinned by the updated framework. Although Independent Schools are not required to offer statutory induction to their ECTs, we know you will share our aspiration that every teacher, at every stage of their career, is supported and encouraged to not just stay in teaching, but to thrive, through high-quality continued professional development. 

SFET Teaching School Hub's induction service offer to Independent Schools draws upon the best of regional support and expertise, an ITTECF compliant induction programme for the Early Career Teachers and the revised Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE)

All Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are entitled to a package of assessment, support and training underpinned by the Early Career Framework (ECF). Click here to register.
