Lead School Slade Primary School

About As our NQTs move into their second year of teaching, it is important that we develop their skills further and help them refine their practices so that they have every chance of delivering consistently outstanding lessons each and every day. The focus of the NQT + 1 programme should therefore be a continuation of professional development from the first year but with an increased emphasis on teachers working collaboratively across the Teaching Alliance to share best practice in these sessions and to explore more advanced and expert ways of doing things with the benefit of a year’s experience. The programme should conclude with the cohort undertaking a small-scale action research project, which will not only give them the opportunity to ‘specialise’ on a very specific area of learning that they can share with other teachers in the partnership but will also whet their appetite for further post-graduate research in education, for which we can use our already strong links with HE institutions.

Session 1: Tuesday 19th September 2017 For Science Leads & Teachers. Teachers need to be confident practitioners who can deliver an enquiry-rich curriculum with access to appropriate resources. To help achieve this, this session will focus on how to develop and embed the ‘working scientifically’ strand of the National Curriculum into all science lessons.

Session 2: Tuesday 21st November 2017 For Science Leads. The 'outdoor classroom' provides a purposeful way to engage learners in active scientific enquiry, giving them experience of collecting and analysing data, and making predictions in the real world, beyond the limitations of the classroom environment. In this session, science leaders will explore how to effectively use the outdoor environment, including the immediate school grounds and local area, to develop an enriching and challenging science curriculum.

Session 3: Wednesday 28th February 2018 For Science Leads. In this session, subject leaders will meet to participate in a robust moderation cycle of children’s work from Years 2 and 6 to support the accurate submission of teacher assessments at the end of Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. They will review the progress and attainment for these cohorts of children and will begin to consider emerging priorities for the next academic year.

Session 4: Wednesday 16th May 2018 For Science Leads. It is widely recognised that an effective science curriculum is one that embeds and develops children’s numeracy and literacy skills (‘Maintaining Curiosity’, Ofsted, 2013). This session will explore how to capitalise on the natural curiosity and enthusiasm of children generated in science lessons to connect with, support and enhance their learning in maths and literacy.

Registration Of Newly Qualified Teachers

Overview From September 2014 The Arthur Terry School Teaching School has been accredited as an Appropriate Body for the registration of NQTs. The school already had a well-established NQT programme and the success of that programme and Teaching Schools status places The Arthur Terry School in a strong position to provide the guidance, monitoring and support to ensure schools meet the statutory requirements of the NQT induction year.

NQT Support Package: • Registration of NQTs with the National College for Teaching and Learning • Advice for the Induction Mentor on the setting up of a NQT Programme which

ensures consistency for NQTs across the school • A half day visit to monitor that appropriate support is in place in line with statutory

requirements • A twilight training session for the Induction Tutor and mentors of NQTs • A NQT handbook for NQTs which supports the school in monitoring the progress

of NQTs • Model assessment forms to support the completion of termly assessments • Prompt telephone/e-mail support to deal with queries

Additional support is also available at additional cost: • A personalised NQT support programme of 6 half day visits of a Specialist Leader

in Education for NQTs at risk of not meeting the Teachers’ Standards • CPD twilight sessions for NQTs

Cost £150 for first NQT & £100 for each additional NQT

Please Note The Arthur Terry School is unable to act as the Appropriate Body for schools within the ATLP, or for trainees who have trained through our SCITT programme.
