Trainee teacher NQT data request.
Dear Exeter 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 Luke,

Dear Luke,
Thank you for your FOI request. The response from Exeter College is detailed below;
We deliver a Post Compulsory PGCE and completing trainees do not have to undertake QTS through an NQT year. This is unlike primary and secondary PGCEs.
Regarding successful completion, last year 11 out of 12 students on the PGCE completed successfully (the other one "interrupted") (91.6%). All 11 went into jobs straightaway.
Kind regards,
FOI Team
