Progress Reviews and Assessments
As we reach the end of the term, our Appropriate Body Board are looking forward to hearing of your ECTs progress towards meeting the Teachers' Standards.
For the vast majority of ECTs, their first Formal Assessment (end of Year 1) or Final Assessment (end of Year 2) will be due. For ECTs who started their induction at the start of a Spring or Summer Term then a Progress Review will due. All Assessments and Progress Reviews are due to be submitted by 6th July. Forms are now available on ECT Manager.
If you have an ECT who is part-time or started mid-way through a term, then their next Progress Review or Assessment may be due at a different date (check ECT Manager for the exact date).
In the Resources Section of ECT Manager, there are examples of good practice which may be useful in helping you to demonstrate that your ECT is making progress against the Teachers' Standards Resource Library (ectmanager.com) Do take a look as these will be helpful in ensuring your reports contain the right amount of detail.
Regular assessment is a statutory responsibility and we act on behalf of the DfE to monitor the assessment and progress of ECTs. Sometimes our Appropriate Body Assessors may reject a progress review or assessment. This is often because: explicit reference to the Teachers’ Standards is omitted; development targets are too wide, they are not specific and measurable and because ECTs are not reflective on their own practice and training, in their comments. Please do consider this when completing reports.

2025/26 Training Dates
For those schools who have ECTs and Mentors who have just come to the end of Year 1 of their ECF training, Year 2 of the programme starts with a Welcome Conference. Please see the dates HERE to enable you to plan ahead. Seminar dates for Year 2 ECTs and Mentors will be sent out before the summer break.
Details of Conferences for new Year 1 ECTs and Mentors who are starting ECTP in September are HERE. Seminar dates for Year 1 ECTs and Mentors will also be shared before the summer break. We hope that this supports schools in planning timetables, calendars and diaries for next year.
