Do you have an NQT starting in
September? Register now with Connect
TS to act as NQT Appropriate Body.

Our induction for mentors and NQTs will take place on:
22nd September @ 3.45pm
By combining our services, expertise and networks
together, Charter and Connect TS will offer a greater
range of phase specialists to support training,
development and to meet
the needs of NQTs and
early career teachers.
We are so grateful to everyone who has supported Connect over the last year, through collaboration,
professional support, membership and participation. In response to Covid 19 we have established new
delivery models. For the first half of the Autumn Term all delivery will be remote – live and/or recorded.
Additionally we will develop models which are blended, flexible and bespoke to schools and localities.
As conditions allow we will continue to provide face to face sessions but there will be a variety of
venues used. We have further strengthened our partnership with Charter TSA to meet our moral
purpose in supporting teachers new to the profession, both NQTs and RQTs. We are looking forward,
with your continued support, to making 2020/21 even better.
