The ECTP 2025/26
We’re working with Teach First to deliver the Early Career Training Programme (ECTP), a fully-funded, two-year package of structured training and guidance for early career teachers (ECTs).
What does our ECTP look like?
Our high-quality programme is delivered through a mix of face-to-face and online modules and is structured in a way that will help ECTs integrate theory, practice and feedback. Each module includes self-directed study materials containing expert guidance, research and examples of best practice. Programme members will join online seminars to discuss theory and their own experiences with small groups of peers and experts.
What can the ECTP do for your school?
Your ECTs benefit from:
- a high-quality programme rated outstanding in all areas by Ofsted
- a structured two-year package of support, training and resources
- phase and specialist exemplification across both years
- our unique subject specific training in year 2
- specialist stretch content on SEND and preparing for leadership
- flexible online and face-to-face training modules that fit around their schedules
- access to expert resources
- a mentor, identified by you, trained by us
Your school benefits from:
- face-to-face and online training for a middle leader to become a great mentor, designed in partnership with Deans for Impact
- a network of mentors to share best practice
- training for a senior leader to introduce the package to your school.
