Dear NQT,
Congratulations on securing your first teaching post as an NQT. We are delighted that your school has chosen to use Teach SouthEast as the Awarding Body to support you through your induction period. You are about to embark on an exciting journey of discovery and learning, which will extend way beyond your first year of teaching.
The year ahead of you will provide a variety of opportunities, which will help you to continually develop your classroom practice. The NQT training sessions will provide you with exceptional
opportunities for professional development. In the first term, the most significant thing for you to focus on is getting to know the pupils in your class. As you do so, you will learn what motivates them to behave well and to learn, enabling you to teach them more effectively. In
subsequent years, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved with trips and extra-curricular activities that will enrich your experience of teaching and the relationships you build in the community. For your first year, however, your class should be your main focus and our
NQT programme has been designed to help you to do exactly that. Your year as an NQT, whilst exciting, will also present new challenges. All of the people
specifically involved with your induction are totally committed to ensuring that you feel supported during your first year. There is always someone to ask for ideas, guidance, and support, so please be pro-active in utilising the support around you.
You have chosen a wonderful career. Every day will be different. Every child is different. The coming year will be a steep learning curve, but it will be remarkably rewarding. We want you
to succeed and, along with your mentor and colleagues, will do everything we can to help you. Have a fantastic NQT year!

handbook. 5. To participate fully in all aspects of the NQT programme and complete all sections of the NQT
handbook in a timely manner.
6. To raise any concerns you may have, with your mentor, at an early stage. 7. To be proactive in your own professional development. 8. To comment on your progress on NQT Manager (https://salesian.nqtmanager.com) at the end of
each term, by the given deadline.
REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR MENTOR Your mentor will play a vital role in your induction year and you can expect to be well supported by
them. 1. To attend the mentor induction training session, via Zoom, on Monday 7th September 2020 from
3.50-5.00 p.m.
2. To hold an initial meeting with you, as outlined on pages 17-18. 3. To conduct lessons observations, as outlined below. 4. To hold weekly mentor meetings with you to discuss lesson observations, progress and the lesson

5. To ensure the effective use of your 10% NQT time.
6. To act as your first port of call for help and support. 7. To arrange for you to observe other professionals on a regular basis. 8. To arrange for your tutor to observe you once each term.

Lesson observations
NQTs should be observed on a weekly basis during term 1. In the first half-term, observations should be for an entire lesson. Professional judgement should be applied as to the length of subsequent observations. Mentors may wish to observe an entire lesson or just part of a lesson,
depending on its focus. Regular observations of English, maths and science lessons should take place, but other subjects can, and should, be observed. It may be very beneficial for other colleagues to observe NQTs from time to time, eg a curriculum coordinator, year leader etc.
Feedback should be given to the NQT on the day of the observation, wherever possible. At least once per term, NQTs should be observed by their tutor/assessor.

Part Two A teacher is expected to demonstrate consistently high standards of personal and professional conduct. The following statements define the behaviour and attitudes which set the required standard for conduct throughout a teacher’s career. • Teachers uphold public trust in the profession and
maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, within and outside school, by: o treating pupils with dignity, building
relationships rooted in mutual respect, and at all times observing proper boundaries, appropriate to a teacher’s professional position
o having regard for the need to safeguard pupils’ wellbeing, in accordance with statutory provisions
o showing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
o not undermining fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
o ensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupils’ vulnerability or might lead them to break the law.
• Teachers must have proper and professional regard for the ethos, policies and practices of the school in which they teach, and maintain high standards in their own attendance and punctuality.
• Teachers must have an understanding of, and always act within, the statutory frameworks which set out their professional duties and responsibilities.
10 | P a g e
MEETING THE TEACHERS’ STANDARDS Statutory induction is seen as the bridge between initial teacher training and a career in teaching. It combines a personalised programme of support, development and professional dialogue, with monitoring and assessment of performance against the relevant standards. The length of the induction
period an NQT is required to serve is the full-time equivalent of one school year. NQTs are assessed as either making sufficient progress towards meeting the Teachers’ Standards or not,
on a termly basis. The assessment process recognises the journey that NQTs take during their induction year. For some, that journey will prove easier than for others. The Teachers’ Standards will be used to assess an NQT’s performance at the end of their induction period. Therefore, in order to successfully
complete their induction year, NQTs must be judged as meeting the Teachers’ Standards in their term 3 assessment. If they fail to meet the standards in terms 1 and 2, but meet them in term 3, they will pass their NQT year. Conversely, if they meet standards in terms 1 and 2, but are judged as having failed to
meet the relevant standards at the end of term 3, they will be regarded as having failed induction. What happens if an NQT fails to meet the Teachers’ Standards at any point in the year? It is important that everyone involved with the programme understands that failing to meet standards at the end of the induction year has career-long consequences for the NQT. Currently an NQT only has
one chance to complete statutory induction. Those failing to complete the induction period satisfactorily are no longer eligible to be employed as a teacher in a maintained school, a maintained nursery school, a non-maintained specific school or a pupil referral unit.
If an NQT’s performance and progress begin to give cause for concern at any point during the induction year, school leaders must notify New Haw/Teach SouthEast and follow the TSE Cause for Concern
procedure. A support plan will be put in place, which clearly outlines which aspects of the Teachers’ Standards the NQT is struggling with, what the NQT needs to do in order to meet the required standards, and what additional support the school will provide to help them to do so. Teaching is a
challenging career and a number of NQTs each year require temporary, additional support from their schools. Given that additional support, the vast majority of NQTs happily make sufficient progress and go on to pass their induction year.
NQTs should rest assured that school leaders and Teach SouthEast/New Haw will do all they can to encourage, support and help them to meet the Teachers’ Standards.

(To be completed by mentor and/or tutor)
A TEACHER IS EXPECTED TO DEMONSTRATE CONSISTENTLY HIGH STANDARDS OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS DEFINE THE BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDES, WHICH SET THE REQUIRED STANDARD FOR CONDUCT THROUGHOUT A TEACHER’S CAREER.
NQT meets this requirement (please tick)
Yes No
Teachers uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, within and outside school, by
treating pupils with dignity
building relationships rooted in mutual respect. Evidence of this might be: • Positive, respectful attitude towards colleagues, pupils, parents and other professionals • Being honest, having integrity – being transparent about issues such as absence and
workload • Treating pupils with dignity and respect • All the above, regardless of race, gender, culture, religion, disability or sexual orientation
• at all times observing proper boundaries, appropriate to a teacher’s professional position
• having regard for the need to safeguard pupils’ wellbeing, in accordance with statutory provisions
• showing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
• not undermining fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
• ensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupils’ vulnerability or might lead them to break the law
• Teachers must have proper and professional regard for the ethos, policies and practices of the school in which they teach, and maintain high standards in their own attendance and punctuality.
• Evidence of this might be: ▪ Dress code: wearing business attire/school-issued kit ▪ Attendance: only being absent where totally unavoidable/prior consent given, all relevant
parties are informed of absence (eg Head/Deputy, line manager, mentor) ▪ Punctuality: being punctual to school and meetings ▪ School policies: Following the school policies and expectations e.g. behaviour policy,
attending whole-school and CPD meetings ▪ Meeting NQT expectations, including making effective use of 10% time e.g. carrying out
observations of other colleagues
• Teachers must have an understanding of, and always act within, the statutory frameworks which set out their professional duties and responsibilities.
TERM 1 MID-TERM REVIEW At this point in time, the NQT is (tick relevant boxes)
Yes No*
• Making sufficient progress towards meeting Teachers’ Standards 1 to 8

Welcome back!
In your second term on the NQT induction programme, all being well, you will be formally observed less frequently. However, some schools may choose to continue with weekly observations.
Weekly mentor meetings continue throughout the term and we would strongly encourage you, if you have not already done so, to begin to observe other professionals (both in your own school and
externally) so that you can learn from the excellent practice of others. Do look again at how effectively you are using your 10% NQT time to support and extend your
professional development.
