Trainee teacher NQT data request.
Dear Farnborough College of Technology,
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
Hi Sharon,
Are you able to help with the below request please?
Thank You,
Central Admin.
Dear Luke
The last cohort to complete our teacher training programme was in 2015,
and 16 students successfully completed the course.
The PGCE/PCE course we run is for the Lifelong Learning Sector, and all
students must be in appropriate employment while completing the course.
Once a teacher has completed the PGCE with us, they can (but don’t have
to) apply for QTLS through the ETF and this is an equivalent to QTS. This
means there is no NQT year, therefore the answer to your second question
is - none.
Finally, none of the students were employed through a supply agency.
Kind regards
Academic Registrar
