Newly Qualified Teachers

Welcome to the profession!  Working as an NQT on Supply or based in one of the EAS Schools enables you to access a range of professional learning to support you on your journey through induction.

Professional learning for NQTs for the academic year 2023/24 will be a hybrid offer online via Microsoft Teams and in person . There is a National PL Offer  consisting of 2 sessions online followed by 3 in person days at EAS schools in the Autumn Term. This is then followed by a regional bespoke professional learning offer in Spring and Summer 2024. The 2 day Regional PL offer will allow NQTs to select from a menu of live practice sessions to suit their own development needs.  A recording of each online national module will be made available for NQTs that are unable to attend.
