We have today (Monday, 23rd September 2024) published our Ofsted ITE Inspection Reports Analysis Summary (2024 Cycle).
It is clear that ITT continues to be a high performing sector in Ofsted remits.

Overview
The key context of the 2024 ITE year for providers was that this was the third full year of ITE inspections (under the 2020 Inspection framework) – reflecting the requirement for all relevant* ITT partnerships to be inspected within the three year cycle which was extended by one year due to the pandemic. This saw a greater proportion of HEI-led partnerships being inspected in 2024.
Inspections were conducted over a six-month period (from 22nd January 2024 to 13th June 2024) and involved 68 partnerships (HEIs and SCITTs) working across the following phases of Initial Teacher Training: Early Years, Primary and Secondary.**
The overwhelming majority of inspected partnerships were judged to be good or better (97%).
The downward trend in partnerships judged to be less than good has been maintained: (3% in 2024; 4% in 2023; 20% in 2022 and 45.5% in 2021); 0% of SCITT and 5% of HEI partnerships were found to be less than good in 2024.
