We are delighted to welcome you to Woodrush Training Consortium.  We provide guidance to ensure a smooth induction process and support ECTs and mentors through the programme. On the rare occasions when concerns do arise we ensure that the correct action is taken swiftly to address any issues.

Another part of Sam’s role is the assessment of the ECTs performance against the Teacher Standards at the end of the first and second year of the ECT programme (as well as regular progress reviews throughout both years).

Deputy Head and ECF Partnership Oversight

Jay is responsible for ensuring overall quality assurance and effective administration of the ECT programme between Woodrush Training Consortium and our partner schools. He also has strategic oversight for staff CPDL, development and support at large.
