Notes

This field collects information with respect to student instances that are part of a scheme. Where a student transfers course within the same instance, Student.INITIATIVES should continue to identify the scheme.

The field should not be used for students who might previously have undertaken an initiative as part of a different instance or at another provider.

This field should be returned twice if a student falls under two separate schemes.

Primary mathematics specialist

Valid entry code D Primary mathematics specialist should only be used by those providers designated to provide this course. Where this code is used in Student.INITIATIVES Student.TTCID must be coded 1, CourseSubject.SBJCA must be coded 101085 and Student.ITTPHSC must be coded 71-77.

Primary General (with Maths)

Valid entry code L 'Primary General (with Maths)' should only be used by those providers designated to provide this course for which specific courses have been assigned in the subject 'Primary General (with Maths)' by the Department for Education. Where this code is used in Student.INITIATIVES Student.TTCID must be coded 1, CourseSubject.SBJCA must be coded 100511 and Student.ITTPHSC must be coded 71-77.

Maths and Physics Chairs Programme

Valid entry code M 'Maths and Physics Chairs Programme' should only be used by those providers with students who have entered ITT through the Maths and Physics Chairs Programme. Where this code is used in Student.INITIATIVES, Student.TTCID must be coded 1 and Student.ENTRYRTE must be coded 03.

More guidance can be found at https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/specialist-training-options/researchers-in-schools .

Abridged ITT course

Valid entry P 'Abridged ITT course' should only be used when a student is taking a course that has been shortened, but is not classed as the Assessment Only Route. Where this code is used in Student.INITIATIVES, Student.TTCID must be coded 1 and Student.ENTRYRTE must be coded 03.

Transition to Teach and Now Teach

Quality rules
Quality rules relating to this entity are displayed here.
Reason required From time to time funders introduce initiatives where, for a limited period, there is a requirement to track students who are recruited under the particular initiative. In order to achieve this monitoring potential, a general purpose field will be added to the record, to which valid entries will be added to identify individual schemes as required. The DfE needs to be able to link ITT students in England to the intake target from which the DfE has allocated numbers. In addition, only a subset of HECoS codes are appropriate for ITT programmes. The DfE wants to ensure that only appropriate subjects are recorded.
