Trainee teacher NQT data request.
Dear East Kent 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 Jacob
Dear Mr Jacob
Thank you for your email communication relating to a release of
information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your request for
information has now been considered and the College's response is to your
questions is as follows:
1. 12 delegates completed their training in academic year 2015/16 – 10
completed the level 5 Diploma in Education and Training and 2 completed
the level 6 Professional Graduate Certificate in Education and Training
2. As our teacher training qualification is a post 16 teacher training
qualification delegates do not complete an NQT year so there is no data to
compare.
3. The College does not collate this information.
I trust that this information answers your queries but should you be
unhappy with the responses provided you may contact me by email. If you
are not satisfied with the outcome of any further response from the
College, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) as
long as all lines of enquiry with the College have been exhausted. The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
