At JRCS we are committed to support Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) in their continuing professional development (CPD). There are dozens of former NQTs still working at JRCS and we are proud that over 40% of the school’s middle leaders are former JRCS NQTs.
Support for NQTs
It is important that Newly Qualified Teachers are fully supported during their first year of teaching. The School provides an induction programme for all NQTs in conjunction with Heads of Department and the Senior Leadership Team.
School support
This is organised by the Assistant Headteacher/Induction Coordinator who devises a programme of induction. This begins in the Summer Term when the NQT induction fortnight is held. We try to ensure that all NQTs receive an intensive programme, including meeting key staff and receiving information important for the start of term such as registration duties, etc. However, the majority of this time is spent within the structure of the individual departments. The Assistant Headteacher/Induction Coordinator will organise the termly reporting of the NQTs’ progress to the Approving Body. The Assistant Headteacher/Induction coordinator will also process the final report assessing the completion of the induction period.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office on 020 8270 6222 or contact Mr S Christie at SChristie@jorichardson.org.uk
