Trainee teacher NQT data request.

The request was partially successful.

Dear City of Bristol College,

I am writing to make an Open Government request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If, however, this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist those who request information from you.

Firstly, from your most recent complete cohort data, how many teacher trainees successfully completed their training?

Secondly, how many of those same trainees were on an NQT placement at the end of their training, compared with how many were not employed (by a school full time) at the end of their training.

Lastly, How many of those same trainees were employed through a supply agency?

I understand that under the Act, I am entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm by email that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

Luke Patrick

Corporate Services, City of Bristol College

Dear Luke

See below the data for staff who started teacher training (2 year, part time course) in Jan 2015 and completed December 2016. We do not have the results for the Jan 2016 cohort as they are not due to complete until December 2017. I’ve included the numbers below.

Regarding NQT, this is something only secondary and primary schools practice and not FE institutions. We train unqualified teaching staff on programme who are trained on the job (whilst they teach). Once completed they are fully qualified without the need to do a one year NQT induction year.

Regarding agency/teacher training, we only funded staff who had permanent contracts with the College so agency staff would not be funded or trained and normally agency staff come with a teaching qualification. Any staff who were recruited via an agency into full time, permanent work would be offered training.

December 2016 Completions – Level 5 Diploma in Teaching and Learning

13 Completed successfully

Jan 2016 Cohort - Level 5 Diploma in Teaching and Learning – Due to complete December 2017

I trust this answers your query. If you need any further information, please get in touch.
