Listed below are the key steps in the rollout plan and more detail on how it will happen:
Teachers and non-registered managers will be brought on to new MyGTCS in 6 groups based on Professional Update confirmation year:
- PU confirmation year group 2025 to 2026
- PU confirmation year group 2026 to 2027
- PU confirmation year group 2027 to 2028
- PU confirmation year group 2028 to 2029
- PU confirmation year group 2029 to 2030
- All others
As each group is transferred to new MyGTCS, data/records held in the existing MyPL system will be automatically transferred to the new MyGTCS system. The data/records are securely stored and transferred files will be visible to view when first logging in to new MyGTCS.
The existing MyGTCS and MyPL platforms will be unavailable to all teachers from 2 July onwards. This will allow us to make best use of the time during the summer holidays and transfer data from the old system to the new MyGTCS.
Teachers will receive an email when they are able to login to new MyGTCS. We understand that this activity will take place during a holiday period. No immediate action is required unless a teacher wants to activate their account at that time. There is no time-limit to accessing their account, activation links will be sent every 30 days until the account is activated.
Once a teacher logs into new MyGTCS and activates their account, they will see their transferred data/records and be able to start recording new professional learning activities immediately.
Throughout the transfer to new MyGTCS and after it has taken place, we continue to hold all data/records that we do currently on existing systems. If a teacher believes that anything is not yet visible to them and they need access to it, they should contact us and we will ensure they get access.
For those teachers who already have access to new MyGTCS because of their involvement with provisionally registered teacher(s), they will have access to the ability to record their own professional learning in their existing account as soon as the system goes live for the first group. Their own MyPL data will then be transferred into and will appear in their existing new MyGTCS account in line with the phasing of their PU year group.
