An Accredited Provider of Employment-Based Initial Teacher Training
Employment-based routes
 

The partners

This page includes links to the websites of each of STTORMM’s Local Authority partners, enabling you to research schools which may be in a position to support Employment-Based Initial Teacher Training. You will also find an email contact who may be in a position to offer further advice on schools in that LA which participate in the graduate teacher programme. STTORMM is a large partnership and it may be appropriate to take advice at a local level.

There is no list of supporting schools available; any school within the partnership of seven LAs is eligible to support GTP, with the exception of schools which have been placed in Special Measures.
