A. Registration and Responsibilities
Schools within this LA have proved highly successful in the training, development and assessment of Newly Qualified Teachers. Dates for the receipt of assessments for these teachers are sent to all schools with NQTs. Crucial to this process are the induction tutors and senior staff who work so hard to support these teachers.
Where NQTs move to another school part way through their induction year it is the responsibility of the Headteacher to pass on to the receiving school copies of assessments and other relevant documentation.
- Registration of NQTs
All NQTs should be registered with Paul Patterson (address below) using the appropriate form. This will ensure the release of the funding from the LA to support the induction year, currently £3,000 a year for a full time NQT. For an NQT employed full time for six terms from September, the first four terms' funding will be transferred into the school's budget. The fifth and sixth terms' finance will be transferred to the school after the start of the new financial year in April. For a teacher on a fixed term contract, and / or part-time, the funding will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis.
In addition, all NQTs on the register will receive a copy of the Bristol NQT induction handbook. Copies of the induction tutor handbook will also be sent to all schools with NQTs.
If you have any queries concerning registration of NQTs please address these to Paul Patterson, Bristol Education Centre (see below for contact details). - Schools' responsibilities for the support, monitoring and assessment of NQTs
Full details of these are contained in the Induction Tutor's Handbook.
Most important is the NQT's Action Plan which will outline the programme of support for the NQT. This must be submitted to Paul Patterson by the end of September.
Training for Induction Tutors takes place in the Summer Term and again early in September. Courses for NQTs will be run as part of the Continuing Professional Development programme starting early in September each year.
For NQTs on full time contracts who took up post from 1 September, schools will be notified of the exact return dates for the three assessment forms (the forms are to be found on the website or in the handbook).
For those NQTs who are on part time contracts or those who take up post part way through the year, assessment dates will be adjusted accordingly and schools notified.
Assessment forms are to be returned to Paul Patterson, Bristol Education Centre, Sheridan Road , Horfield, Bristol BS7 0PU. Tel 0117 377 3210 or email paul.patterson@bristol.gov.uk .
B. Continuing Professional Development Programme
We draw your attention to the training courses and residential conferences offered in the CPD programme for NQTs.
There will be an opportunity for NQTs to attend a Welcome to Bristol event at the Council House in early July.
