All of the teacher training partnerships inspected in the past year by Ofsted have been rated as “good” or “outstanding”, new figures reveal.

It is the first time in at least a decade that every inspection judgement in a single year was good or better.

And it means that all of the 340 initial teacher training (ITT) partnerships that have checked by the watchdog have beenjudged to be good or outstanding at their most recent inspection.

Framework: New ITT inspections will focus on curriculum 

Expert view: Teacher training will develop curriculum thinkers

Inspection: MATs rated better than universities at teacher training

In 2019-20, only seven teacher training providers were inspected as Ofsted was coming to the end of its inspection cycle under its old framework.

It will begin inspecting under a new framework next year.

Of the seven teacher training providers, inspected five were rated as “outstanding” and the other two “good”.

Tables published today show this is the first time in at least a decade that every provider has received a “good” or “outstanding” judgement in a single year

In 2018-19, there was one provider found to “require improvement” among the 62 that were inspected.

The latest figures also show that school-based teacher training providers were slightly more likely to be rated as “outstanding” than university providers.

A table showing providers’ most recent inspection judgements reveal that 21 per cent of SCITTs (school-centred initial teacher training) for secondary school trainees were found to be “outstanding” compared with 19 per cent of higher education institutions.

And at primary, 25 per cent of SCITTs were given the top rating compared with 21 per cent of higher education training providers. 

But all ratings are either “outstanding” or “good”.

The figures also show that outcomes of inspections for SCITTs in multi-academy trusts (MATs) are slightly more positive than those for SCITTs that are not in a MAT.

Ofsted is to inspect teacher training providers under a new framework from 2020-21 with an increased focus on curriculum.
