Early Career Teachers (ECT)
For ECTs, the first years of teaching are full of new responsibilities, experiences and opportunities to build on. It is a time to put into practice the knowledge they have already acquired and should be a fully supported journey to ensure standards are met, confidence is built and skills are developed.

The 3 Appropriate Body Routes:
There are three different Appropriate Body routes a school can opt to follow. A school’s pathway must go hand-in-hand with their chosen ECF induction type:
Full Induction Programme – The ECF is delivered by a ‘Lead Provider’ (Ambition Institute) and a ‘Delivery Partner’ (Haybridge Teaching School Hub). As the ECF is quality -assured by Ambition Institute and the DfE, schools following this route require no Appropriate Body fidelity checks.
Core Induction Programme – The ECF is delivered by the school using quality -assured material from the DfE. Schools following this route must undergo a fidelity check to ensure their ECTs are receiving statutory entitlements and the school are following a programme in line with ECF guidance.
School-based Induction Programme – The ECF is designed and delivered by the school. Enhanced fidelity checks must be carried out on the school by a representative from the Appropriate Body in order to ensure the ECF has been designed and delivered effectively to ECTs.
Our services are flexible, so we can tailor them to meet your school’s needs and budget.
