ECTs 3-day curriculum and subject knowledge package – KS2

About this course

This CPD package is specifically designed to complement the statutory requirements for ECTs (such as registering with an Appropriate Body and accessing the national ECF programme). The package is open to all ECTs and is not restricted to ECTs registered with a particular Appropriate Body or ECF provider.*

Recognising that some ECF programmes do not offer significant subject and curriculum content, this 3-day package will support the transition from ITT to ECT - developing teachers’ subject and curriculum knowledge and covering all core and many foundation subjects.

We will facilitate expert-led, high-quality practical, subject level training, specifically focused on the primary curriculum and the Key Stage in which the teacher is based, developing curriculum understanding and pedagogy through 3 days of face-to-face training. 

The package is ideal for ECTs in their first year but would also be beneficial to: ECTs in their 2nd year who have not already completed this package, teachers who are changing age phase, are oversees trained or return to teaching. 

Outline for the 3 days: 

For delegates who join at a point after the first day has taken place, provision will be made for them to access the full package. 

Cost per delegate £484.50, which includes 3 full days of face-to-face training, materials/resources and full catering.

*Schools will still need to have registered their ECTs with an Appropriate Body and ensured that they have access to recognised ECF training. This CPD package complements but cannot be used to replace either of these elements.
