Information for the NQT induction tutor
Before a school employs an NQT:
- You must make sure that they have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) [external link]
- You must make sure that the post is suitable for induction
Once the school has employed an NQT:
Registering your NQT
- You must register your new NQT [word document] with us straight away - this is a legislative requirement of the Teaching Regulation Agency - any delay to the registration may result in the NQT having to undertake a longer induction period.
- You cannot register an NQT retrospectively.
- Don’t forget to contact us by email at [email protected] to book your NQT on our training courses
Assessing your NQT's performance
- You should complete termly assessments of your NQT's performance as specified in the Teachers’ Standards [external link]
- Please send completed assessments back to us at [email protected] on a termly basis (for full time NQTs)
- If your NQT leaves the school before completing the induction period, you must complete an interim assessment to make sure that the induction can be continued effectively in any subsequent post
