Teaching and leading in our schools can feel all-encompassing at the best of times. Add a young family into the mix and life can quickly become overwhelming and stressful. At The MTPT Project, we see too many amazing, experienced teachers and leaders burn out, feeling forced to choose between their careers and their families.

But teaching and leading can be compatible with family life – even the most family-friendly career choice going!

Join us on our Sustain and Grow group coaching programme this September to take control of your work and home lives.

Alban Education are working in partnership with Best Practice Network to provide Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship Level 3 with SEND. With increasing financial and staffing pressures on schools, plus the greater demand on SEND support, this programme provides relevant training for TAs, fully funded by the apprenticeship levy.

Benefits

TA Level 3 with SEND specialism offers a flexible approach to learning for both schools and learners, with a strong emphasis on the SEND pathway. All learners acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to support teachers in enhancing pupil learning, both in groups and individually.

Specialising in SEND, learners will develop an in-depth understanding of various areas of need, such as Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), Dyslexia, and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This specialised knowledge will enable them to play a more effective role in supporting students with SEND.

Funding

Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship Level 3 with SEND is funded through your school’s apprenticeship levy, alleviating pressure on CPD budgets.

Best Practice Network can support your school to access your levy funding for this apprenticeship if you have not accessed it before.

Applications

Staff can apply via the following link: TA level 3 with SEND specialism application. Please ensure they select Alban TSH from the dropdown list within the application so they can be easily identified and added to our local delivery group:

 

If you have any questions at all please contact partnerships@bestpracticenet.co.uk .

In three 60 minute Zoom sessions, we’ll focus on key themes relevant to The MTPT Project community:

Case Study

As part of a regional Teaching School Hub partnership in the South East, Alban Teaching School Hub are proud to be supporting The MTPT Project’s Return to Work Workshops throughout the academic year 2024-25.

This 90 minute interactive webinar offers colleagues in the South East the opportunity to prepare logistically and emotionally for a confident return to work following a period of maternity, adoption or shared parental leave.

Ensuring the programme is fully-funded for state school colleagues is just one of the ways that Alban Teaching School Hub is addressing recommendations in the recent Missing Mothers report by The New Britain Project and The MTPT Project, which found that only 38% of mother-teachers surveyed were satisfied with the maternity leave and transition support provided by their school.

Fleur Baikie, a secondary middle leader in Hertfordshire attended a Return to Work workshop in February 2025.  Fleur said she enjoyed, “having some time to really think about returning to work without interruption and with the support of Emma (the facilitator) and the other parents at the workshop.”  She loved the “concrete examples” shared and says the workshop has increased her confidence about returning to work.

Find out more about The MTPT Project’s fully-funded Return to Work workshops, including upcoming dates and other regional Teaching School Hub sponsors on Eventbrite.
