Creating ET posts

If a school decides to create an ET post this must be consistent with the school’s staffing structure and after appropriate consultation.

If an ET post is filled by an internal candidate, the teacher appointed will have to relinquish their current post and TLR payments attached to it.

Guidance aimed at headteachers, governors, teachers and local authority officials contains information about what an ET is, what being an ET involves and what benefits they can bring to their school. It also describes the purpose of the ETS and includes more details of the assessment process.
