Second Placement Needed
If you need to secure a second school teaching placement prior to the commencement of the formal Assessment Period, it may be possible for KNSTE to broker such a placement within its partnership. There is likely to be a fee of £500 to enable a school to release senior colleagues to support you in securing the teaching evidence required for successful progression onto the AO programme.
