Headteachers & NQT Induction tutors
Briefing sessions are held in the Summer term each year to ensure that all schools are familiar with the requirements relating to the Statutory Induction of Newly Qualified Teachers.
In addition, in conjunction with Sheffield Hallam University, an extended training programme is available for Induction Tutors. The course is spread over the school year, matching the content to the stages of the NQT induction programme. Accreditation is available for attendees who complete additional assignments.
