- Astra Teaching School Hub Appropriate Body will continue to offer Appropriate Body services to all schools in Bucks with ECTs (apart from those awarded QTS by Astra SCITT or are employed at Dr Challoner’s Grammar School)
- Schools will be signposted to Alban Teaching School Hub Appropriate Body who will provide Appropriate Body services for those ECTs awarded QTS by Astra SCITT and those employed at Dr Challoner’s Grammar School
Local authorities (LAs) will withdraw from their Appropriate Body role in two stages:
