A personalised and cohesive programme to help our Early
Careers Teachers’ get off to a ‘Flying Start’ which supports
mentors as well as teachers to prepare them for the year
ahead, in their setting, for their children.
Successful induction is the first step into a successful career. The support offered
by schools for NQTs and RQTs has never been needed more than after the
disruption and challenge caused by Covid 19. To underscore this Charter and
Connect Teaching Schools have collaborated further to create a wider offer
which is intended to take the pressure off schools and offer teachers strategies
and ideas that can be transferred into practice immediately. We have a
combined offer of 18 sessions of which 6 come within the enhanced Early Career
Offer for NQTs and the Early Career Package for RQTs. All remaining sessions
are available at £45 each (£50 for non alliance members). Our successful NQT
induction is in it’s fourth year with a growing reputation in our locality.
