We will arrange interviews between January - April each year; candidates will be informed as to the outcome of their interview (usually within seven working days);
We will circulate names of potential trainees to all schools in North Lincolnshire to find suitable training places (May);
When a suitable training place has been found the potential trainee will need to spend at least 10 days (usually in June/July) in that school undergoing an Initial Needs Assessment which will inform the development of a personalised Training Plan to be drawn up by North Lincolnshire ITT Partnership in close liaison with the school;
All training places (currently 23 spread across our 81 primary and secondary schools) are dependent upon the allocation of funding received from the Training and Development Agency for schools and their allocation will be at the discretion of the North Lincolnshire ITTP;
Once training has started it will be overseen at all times by North Lincolnshire ITTP in partnership with the participating schools.
