Dates of Second Setting:

The second setting school should provide you with opportunities to teach in the same age ranges that you intend to qualify, and your timetable should be approximately 60% whole class teaching. You will be expected to continue to maintain teaching files and records of progress against the Teachers’ Standards (TSs) for your work within the second setting. These will form part of your Professional Portfolio.Alliance leads will have a role to play in facilitating arrangements for second settings and reviewing second setting reports to ensure that transitions, between the host school and second setting school are as smooth as possible.

Trainees must ensure they are maintaining their working files, which will include:

  • A record of lessons plans and resources
  • Samples of pupils' work, showing progress
  • Lesson evaluations and weekly reflections
  • Lesson observation records
  • Records of observations of other staff

This report should record evidence claims for the TSs and these claims should be verified by your second setting mentor. This report should be shared in the penultimate week of the placement with the host school mentor who will use it to inform the completion of the ATS progress report. Ideally a meeting should be arranged between host school mentors, second setting mentors and the trainee to discuss achievements in relation to TS in the second setting. If possible, this could also include joint lesson observation and coincide with the link tutor visit.

The form should be emailed to your university Tutor and your host school mentor on completion. A signature is not required if the form is emailed by the second setting mentor or PCM.
