The claim window for ITT general mentor funding for AY 25/26 opened on 27 April 26 and closes on 17 July 26. Please note you will not be able to submit a claim in this claim window after this date. ITT placement schools that have been added to the Register trainee teachers service by their ITT providers should have been on-boarded to the service. Up to two DfE Sign-in approver accounts have been on-boarded to the service for each school, and they can add additional users.

If a school has not been on-boarded

Step 1: if a school has not received an email from the department inviting them to the service, they should check with their DfE Sign-in approvers to see if they have received it. If so, they will be able to add additional users.    

Step 2: if the school’s DfE Sign-in approvers have not received an email from the department inviting them to the service, they should check with their ITT provider that they have recorded the school on the Register trainee teacher service. Once this is done, schools will be on-boarded to the Claim Funding service monthly, so the school should receive an email within a month of their accredited ITT provider recording them as a placement school.
