April 2025 Mentors 

We are delighted to welcome a new cohort of mentors for the April 2025 Cohort!  Anyone who is new to mentoring, regardless of how far through the ECF their ECT is, should attend this event. 

Thank you! 

Quality Assurance visits to schools and feedback via our Appropriate Body Board has highlighted the high-quality support that ECTs are receiving from their mentors.  Mentors often ‘wear many hats’ in schools but their role in supporting teachers at the very start of their career has a significant impact on the quality of teaching that our children and young people receive. Thank you for your hard work and commitment! 

Strong mentoring is crucial for the development of our ECTs and your skills are essential. Support for you, as a mentor, is provided through the seminars, Bright Space materials and the Teach First Mentor Handbook (which is a mine of information). Do get in touch with us if you are having any difficulty accessing this information. 

The seminars are also a great place to get to know and network with other mentors in your area. 

Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE) 

As you may be aware the DfE have recently published updated guidance to reflect the changes being made to the training and support for ECTs starting in September 2025.  Read more about the changes here.
