This week, we welcomed over 1,000 new teacher trainees as they began their Initial Teacher Training (ITT) journey with us! 🎉
To kick off their year-long programme, the trainees immersed themselves in three days of Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP), a crucial foundation for building confidence and classroom expertise.
Hear directly from our brilliant tutors about why ITaP matters for new trainees and how it sets them up for success.

The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) has been granted new degree-awarding powers by the Office for Students! This means that we will be able to award our own Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from September 2025.
Our CEO, Melanie Renowden, and Chair, Sir Dan Moynihan, have set out what this means for the NIoT in today's announcement - https://t.co/sSQDc8C8qy

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the Minister for School Standards, @CMcKinnellMP, to @OutwoodAcklam to meet one of our outstanding Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship (PGTA) students, Daniel Harrison.
We were proud to introduce Daniel, a Biology Teaching Apprentice, to Minister McKinnell, allowing them to discuss Daniel's experience with the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) and why he chose the PGTA route.
BBC North East also attended the occasion, taking shots for an interview that will discuss NIoT and the services we provide.
So, what did Daniel have to say?
"The NIoT Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship has enabled me to take the leap from my role as an inclusion coordinator to being a teacher. I've really enjoyed being fully embedded in the teaching community at my school and would recommend this as an ideal route for those who are interested in the profession but looking for a way to learn on the job."
Our Executive Director of Programmes, @reuben_moore, also shared some thoughts on teacher apprenticeships -
"The potential of teacher apprenticeships is significant, strengthening routes into the profession and helping to reach a range of candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds in hard-to-recruit areas where teachers are needed most.
The hands-on learning offered alongside critical reflection through the apprenticeship route means that trainees can become fully qualified teachers in less time, without compromising on the quality of teaching or educational outcomes.
We welcome the government's efforts on removing barriers to this important training route, not only focusing on its impact but the opportunity to grow it further and help ensure that all children have access to an excellent education."
