Description

See 'Attachments' for full description and further information.

The Department for Education (DfE) supports schools in recruiting the teachers they need. It recognises that the strengthening economy and growth in pupil numbers make the situation more challenging and that this is more acute in certain subjects and schools and areas of the country.
The National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) is seeking to tender a contract to provide 'acclimatisation' support and services to include, for example, international qualified teachers (up to a maximum of 250), re-locating to take up posts in English schools in the academic year 2017/18. We anticipate that we will be in a position to provide greater clarification on the numbers requiring these services in mid-May 2017.
