The first university rated ‘outstanding’ under Ofsted’s new teacher training inspection framework is among those snubbed over re-accreditation in the first round of the controversial ITT review.
The University of Nottingham said it was “disappointed and perplexed” by the decision. Only 80 of the 216 providers – just over a third – that applied went through in the first round.
Other rejected organisations spoke of being treated “disgracefully”, while even successful providers described a “challenging” and “stressful” process.
