Welcome
from Esther Cook, Director
It is with much excitement that I share with you this first update from the Thames Gateway TSH. It has been a privilege to meet with colleagues across the Medway and North Kent regions over the past few weeks as we begin to shape our new partnership.
As we look towards the end of an extremely challenging year, and begin to plan for new opportunities, it is timely to reflect on the people at the heart of our educational communities. As a sector which exists to see communities flourish, we are so very aware of the commitment, and personal dedication shown by teachers and school staff across our society. It is investment in these colleagues, and a desire to provide support which enhances their working lives, which drives our organisation. Overarching this aim is the fundamental and shared belief that our incredible children, who have faced such a unique set of challenges over the past months, will be given the best conditions in which to thrive, when the adults who invest in them have everything they need to succeed. I hope that this update, and the body of work it represents, will resource you and your colleagues, as we together meet our aim to deliver professional development which shapes the lives of our children and young people.
As this offer is constructed and rolled out it is fully dependent on our partnerships and relationships. Please do get in touch with us directly with any further information, feedback, questions or ideas.
Further editions will provide greater opportunity to get to know the members of the Thames Gateway TSH team. Please do get in touch with us directly with any queries, questions or comments.
Esther Cook: Thames Gateway TSH Director
Faye McGill: Thames Gateway TSH Deputy Director (NPQ/CPD)
Jodie Byham: Head of Early Career Teacher Training (ECF/AB)
Sarah Smith: Executive Support Officer
Emma Henthorn: Finance Lead
We look forward to continuing to work with you.

Early Career Framework
The early career framework (ECF) reforms will create a step change in support for early career teachers, providing a funded entitlement to a structured 2-year package of high-quality professional development. The reforms are part of the government’s teacher recruitment and retention strategy, which aims to improve the training and development opportunities available to teachers.
The early career framework is the evidence base which underpins this new entitlement for early career teachers’ professional development. It sets out what all early career teachers should learn about, and learn how to do, during the first 2 years of their careers.
Schools have three options in choosing how to deliver the ECF to their Early Career teachers. Schools can choose:
- a funded provider-led programme
- to deliver their own training using DfE-accredited materials and resources
- to design and deliver their own ECF-based induction
Thames Gateway TSH are proud to be delivering the Full Induction Programme though the Education Development Trust. For full details please see our website. To sign up directly with EDT please do so via www.educationdevelopmenttrust.com/ECF. Please email to request further details.
