What is this toolkit for?
We want to support schools with recruitment by supporting effective communication, supporting collaborative partnerships and by driving engagement with teacher training and ongoing professional development, across North Birmingham.
As part of our strategic role to support all teacher training across North Birmingham, we have collaborated with Teaching School hubs and schools across the West Midlands to develop a bank of resources to support schools with the recruitment of new staff and retention of existing colleagues.
We believe that teacher training is vital to sustainable recruitment.
In any case, these resources have been designed for use by schools to support their recruitment of staff at all levels.
We hope they are helpful and support your school.

If you are an ITE provider who needs support with placement capacity, use our tool to access support from Teaching School Hubs across the West midlands:
