Primary Post Graduate Initial Teacher Education (Primary PG ITE)

Welcome Primary Mentors! This website replaces our old Mentor Team and ensures all your training materials for the mentor curriculum and placement guidance is in one place.

You will find below the mentor training materials listed in order of completion. In addition, you will see a folder for placement paperwork with copies of all the placement handbooks and forms that you need. If you feel anything is missing, please do let your RPT’s Supervising Tutor know.

To access your Placement Documentation for Primary, please click here. You will also find on this page any placement-specific mentor training materials and videos.

The Primary PG ITE Mentor Curriculum

The mentor curriculum has been designed to support you in your role as a Reading Partnership mentor. There are a few core sessions if you have a RPT for that placement (these match what you will have completed in previous years and are saved in the Placement Documentation page), all others are optional but available should you wish to complete them. For any modules completed, please ensure you complete the form to show engagement as this year, there will be funding available to claim directly from the DfE at the end of the year for each module completed and your forms will demonstrate engagement and completion. For those who complete all the training, we will be able to award you Mentor Certification at the end of the year.

If you plan to complete all the modules for Mentor Certification, please complete the Mentor Prior Knowledge form. This is matched to the full curriculum and will enable you to still receive your full certification without necessarily completing all the modules. Our Lead Mentors will be in touch to let you know whcih modules you do not need to complete.

Please ensure you download the Primary PG Mentor Handbook here to support your training:
