From September 2023: 

  • 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: 

  • September 2023 Buckinghamshire Council will not take on any new ECTs but will continue to provide services for their current Year 1 ECTs going into Year 2 
  • September 2024 Buckinghamshire Council will cease operating as an Appropriate Body 

 

All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body in order for induction to be formally recognised by the Teaching Regulation Agency
