This week we saw government announce the availability of scholarship funding for teachers considering undertaking a National
Professional Qualification (NPQ). Via Bradford Teaching School Hub's weekly newsletter, I have provided detailed information about
the scholarships and the new and reformed NPQs. Applications are now welcomed and we have received a number of applications already. Scholarship funding is confirmed for 2021-22 until the funding is utilised in full by schools across the country.
Schools are busy registering their Early Career Teachers, Mentors and Induction Leads for the Early Career Framework-based induction all ECTs taking up their first teaching post in September
2021 are entitled to. We have partnered with Ambition Institute to deliver the Early Career Teachers programme. Again, via the
newsletter, we have provided more information on this offer and how to register.
Finally, this week we launched the Bradford Opportunity Area-funded coaching offer for headteachers and senior leadership teams. Full
details, including how to register an interest in this are available here.
I hope you have a wonderful week.
Best wishes
Paul Butler
Director of Bradford Teaching School Hub
