The role of the appropriate body is to ensure that Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are supported in school. Central London Teaching School Hub (Paddington Academy) is the appropriate body organisation for Camden schools.

The induction of Early Career Teachers (ECTs) is an essential stage in the continued professional development of teachers. Camden Learning work alongside the Appropriate Body – Central London Teaching School Hub to provide support and encouragement for ECTs as they further develop their understanding and expertise.

The role of the Appropriate Body is to ensure Camden’s Early Career Programme and school-based induction supports the early career teacher and provide them with the necessary training to ensure that they can demonstrate that their performance against the Teachers’ Standards is satisfactory by the end of the period. Induction should provide a foundation for ECTs and equip them with the tools to be an effective and successful teacher.
