(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Education (School Teachers’ Qualifications) (England) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”) set out the requirements which must be satisfied in order to be a qualified teacher.
Schedule 2 to the 2003 Regulations specifies the various routes to achieve qualified teacher status. These Regulations amend the 2003 Regulations to add to Schedule 2 the following two routes to achieve qualified teacher status (regulations 4 and 8(e)). First, teachers who have successfully completed a programme of professional training for teachers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America and who have satisfied any additional requirements which are necessary in order for a person in that country to be eligible for employment as a qualified teacher on a permanent basis in government schools (in the case of Australia) or schools which are wholly or mainly government funded (in the case of Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America). Secondly, teachers who have been awarded qualified teacher learning and skills status by the Institute for Learning and who are members of the Institute for Learning. Both routes are subject to exceptions.
These Regulations further amend the 2003 Regulations consequential upon the abolition of the General Teaching Council for England and the Training and Development Agency for Schools with effect from 1st April 2012 (regulations 3 to 8).
The Education (School Teachers’ Appraisal) (England) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) set out the appraisal requirements applying to teachers whose pay and conditions are determined by an order of the Secretary of State under section 122 of the Education Act 2002. Regulation 7 of the 2012 Regulations requires the annual appraisal of the performance of teachers, which must include an assessment of the teacher’s performance against, among other things, the appropriate standards. Regulation 6 sets out what the appropriate standards are. These Regulations (regulation 9) amend regulation 6 of the 2012 Regulations to give the governing body, head teacher or local authority (as the case may be) the freedom to apply different standards to those teachers who have qualified teacher status by virtue of their qualified teacher learning and skills status.
