The DfE announced the following:
Extra support for early career teachers
Eligible schools have until Saturday 31 October 2021 to sign-up to an early roll-out of the Early Career Framework (ECF) reforms. These reforms underline an entitlement to a 2-year programme of development and support for Early Career Teachers, that will be rolled out nationally from September 2021.
Sign up to the ECF reforms at this link.
Due to the disruptions to initial teacher training this year, we have made the high-quality training materials developed for the ECF reforms available to all schools and early career teachers a year ahead of schedule
These ‘Core Induction Programmes’ can be accessed here.
Sign up to the DfE mailing list for further updates on topics and programmes related to the ECF and National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) here.
Mathematics and Physics Teacher Retention Payments
Mathematics and physics teachers in the first five years of their career are eligible for £2,000 retention payments after tax in each of the 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years, totalling up to £4,000. Applications for the 2020/-21 academic year payment are now open.
Teachers must be employed in a state-funded secondary in the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, or other Opportunity Areas (OAs) and can be employed on a full-time or part-time basis.
