We have hosted a local Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) network for the past six years. As part of this network we provide fortnightly twilight training sessions to NQTs to support them in their first year of teaching. This year we are also providing training for teachers in their 2nd or 3rd year of training. The training themes come from the Early Career’s Framework (DfE 2019).
Please find the outlines for the two different training programmes from below.
