Induction Services for Independent Schools
You may be aware that, from September, there are changes to the induction programme of newly qualified teachers. Although Independent Schools are not required to offer statutory induction to their NQTs, we know you will share our aspiration that every teacher, at every stage of their career, is supported and encouraged to not just stay in teaching, but to thrive, through high quality continual professional development.
SFET Teaching School Hub's induction service offer to Independent Schools draws upon the best of regional support and expertise, the core induction programme for the Early Career Framework and reforms to statutory induction for new teachers.
All newly qualified teachers (NQTs) will be called early career teachers (ECTs) from 1st September 2021 and will be entitled to a package of assessment, support and training underpinned by the Early Career Framework (ECF). Click here to regsiter.
