Induction of Newly Qualified Teachers

The Guidance that can be downloaded from the links in the left-side menu of this page describes arrangements for every newly qualified teacher to complete a period of induction if they wish to work in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in England.

It sets the induction standards against which newly qualified teachers are assessed, and gives guidance on how head teachers and other school staff should support, monitor and assess newly qualified teachers during their first year of teaching.

The Guidance also covers appeal arrangements if teachers fail the final assessment.

Your HR Link Consultant can provide more advice and guidance.

Particular attention should be given to the induction of NQT’s to provide support and guidance in their first year.
