Early Career Teachers and Initial Teacher

Training

Banbury Aspirations Campus is a great place to complete your training. We have
long-established links with Initial Teacher Training providers and a strong team

in place to support the induction of Early Career Teachers.

Jenny Irvine is responsible for ECTs and ITT provision and works with Corinna
Randall (ECTs and Apprentices) and Lucy Sterland (Interns). Please speak to

any of us if you have questions or concerns.

All ECTs and ITT staff have a PDP (Professional Development Programme)
session on Wednesdays after school, beginning at 3.30, run by Corinna and Lucy

respectively and supported by other members of the Banbury Aspirations

Campus staff team.

ECTs

You will have a reduced timetable and dedicated time on your timetable as is a
statutory right (2 periods in year 1 and 1 period in year 2). This time will allow

you to complete such activities as peer observations, student trails, planning

and feedback and admin relating to your induction. You will have a mentor and
will meet weekly with them to complete your induction programme. Our

Appropriate Body is the Oxfordshire Teaching School Hub (OTSH) and we will

complete the statutory training on the Early Career Framework (ECF) through
them in association with UCL. A login for this and further details will be given

once you join the school.
