Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which higher education institutions and school-centred initial teacher training providers received three year allocations for 2017–18 onwards; and what criteria were used to identify such providers.

The criteria used for three-year allocations for 2017/18 were published in “The allocation of Initial Teacher Training Places 2017-18” on 29 September. The four criteria used were: average degree class of trainees, quality of training measured by OFSTED, quality of outcomes measured by employment into the maintained sector, and recruitment performance against allocations.

We will be publishing the full list of providers eligible for three-year allocations, and the allocations by subject in due course.
