Appropriate Body Services
The Alban Teaching School Hub is an Appropriate Body for Early Career Teachers based in St. Albans. We provide support and quality assurance of the ECT Induction process for ECTs in England and work primarily but not exclusively, with schools in South Hertfordshire including Watford, Hertsmere, St. Albans, Harpenden, Dacorum, Welwyn and Three Rivers. We work with schools to ensure that their ECT assessment processes are robust, fair and consistent to ensure that all ECTs have the best opportunities to meet all the Teachers’ Standards at the end of their induction period. We will also provide Fidelity Checks to support schools who choose to deliver the Core Induction programme.
We use ECT Manager (renamed NQT Manager) system to provide you with a highly streamlined system for key documents, accessing resources and as a platform for accessing relevant training materials. Our regional team of ECT Induction leads provide a wealth of early career teacher experience to support and guide you in all phases of delivery. We pride ourselves on providing a service of Teachers for Teachers which ensures guidance is both current and relevant.
