The alliance is now an appropriate body for both early years, primary and secondary NQTs and offers an accompanying Primary NQT Induction Programme.

Our offer includes:

• Quality assurance of your school’s NQT offer
• Administration and liaison with the Teaching Agency and DfE as appropriate;
• An annual Induction Tutor briefing (attendance is obligatory for all participating schools)
• Telephone and email support
• Tailored consultancy support and advice for NQTs at risk of failing

Primary NQT Induction Programme

The programme consists of six afternoon sessions and six twilights. Schools can sign NQTs up for the whole afternoon, or just the first session, depending on their interests and professional development needs.
