Agenda

NCTL update  Autumn Term ITT Network meetings  Recruitment update  School Direct updates

Update on recruitment  Applicant numbers are lower than at this point last year  We need more applicants overall in order to meet TSM  At this point each year we have around 50% of the total number of applicants we will get – this trend has not been reversed in year  Schools and providers are making more offers than they did at this point last year; however, they need to make more offers per place as the applicant pool tails off  A range of additional interventions to support recruitment this year, including: TV advertising (March); award of £5k funding to schools for additional SDS places and additional support to applicants via recruitment advisors

Initial teacher training (ITT) marketing  Advertising in the Daily Telegraph, Times, Guardian, Metro and Evening Standard from Monday 23 February.  TV advertising for the first time since 2010, with the Your Future I Their Future video, featuring Educating Yorkshire’s Mr Burton, being shown for four weeks from 2 March across ITV1, Channel 4, 5 and Sky.  The TV and newspaper advertising will be complemented by additional social media and direct marketing activities, and will encourage attendance at candidate events, including the 14 remaining Train to Teach events across the country.  What are you doing to capture interest locally?
