Answer

Initial Teacher Education (ITE) providers are responsible for assessing their own capacity to take on students in the School Onsite Training Programme. Capacity is dependent on the number of schools the ITE provider is working with who have expressed an interest in taking on SOTP students and meet the criteria for being a host school.
