Requesting Places & Subject List

In any given year the process for individual schools to approach the West London Teaching School Alliance (WLTSA) to request teacher training places, occurs in May/June, for WLTSA then to amalgamate all these individual requests and submit them to DfE by end June, with a view to start recruiting in Sept/October for training places for the following academic year.

We normally email our schools in mid May asking for them to return a booking form to us by mid June to request to be able to recruit the following academic year for trainees to start the year after that.

We are very happy to work with other schools beyond our current partner schools and if you would like to request trainees either now for the 2020-21 cohort or for recruitment from Oct 2020 for the 2021-22 cohort (or simply to discuss how this all works), please email Alex Dijkhuis on adijkhuis@sacredh.lbhf.sch.uk and she will call you back.

There is no cost for requesting places and there is no charge levied by WLTSA to our partner schools for the support we provide to you.  We recoup our costs from money received from universities and the EFA.  We pass money to partner schools in the training year if they have recruited a trainee through us (both on salaried and unsalaried programmes).

If you have missed the mid June deadline for requesting places -even if its very much later in the year - do please still get in touch (using the email link above) and we may still be able to help.
