Bosses of a university stripped of accreditation through the government’s ITT review have slammed the “inconsistent and unfair” process after Ofsted rated its provision as ‘good’.
Inspectors said the University of Greenwich’s “ambitious” programmes “prepare trainees well” for the profession, less than a year after it was informed it had not met the requirements set by the initial teacher training market review.
Leaders have written to education secretary Gillian Keegan, and warned the “clear discrepancy raises further concerns about the rigor and validity of the ITT accreditation process”.
Just 179 of around 240 providers made it through the re-accreditation process last year, and a number of those snubbed have since received glowing Ofsted reports.
