Support for schools
Saffron Teaching School Hub supports recruitment and retention of trainee teachers for our region. We are grateful to our local schools and leaders for their continued commitment to Initial Teacher Training.
Getting involved with Initial Teacher Training
Engaging in initial teacher training (ITT) is vital, as it directly influences the quality of education provided to students and the overall success of schools – but there are so many other benefits for schools, leaders, teachers and pupils. By actively participating in ITT, schools can ensure that they are developing skilled and passionate educators who are well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of their students. Leaders taking an active role in ITT can cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within their school community while also contributing to the broader education sector by sharing best practices, collaborating with other schools and settings, and driving positive change in teacher training standards.
If you're wondering how you can get involved in ITT, read our case studies here.

This directory summarises the ITT provision in the Saffron Teaching School Hub area to help schools who would like to engage in ITT make informed choices about their next steps. The brochure outlines what ITT providers can offer potential partnership schools and lists contacts for Headteachers who are interested in further discussions with particular ITT providers.
We hope this brochure gives Headteachers the information they need about current ITT providers and what they can offer potential partnership schools.
