Teaching Agency Report

What is the Teaching Agency Report?

Before we place any candidate into a school environment we are required to search ‘The Teaching Agency Report’ to ensure the candidate does not have any convictions (and therefore does not appear on the ‘Teaching Agency Report’).

What do I need to submit?

You will need to supply us with your TRN.

A TRN is a 7 digit number that uniquely identifies you in the education sector in England. Find more information here (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teacher-reference-number-trn)

Why was my Teacher Agency Report Flagged?

Candidates that have convictions or records of gross misconduct (i.e. Texting students, Inappropriate behaviour with a student, Failed induction etc…) will display on the ‘Teaching Agency Report’ and their application will be rejected.
