Following another successful year of the city wide NQT programme, the city's Teaching Schools (Bristol Early Years Consortium and Bristol Primary Teaching School Alliance) have again joined together to provide a comprehensive programme for NQT support and development, planned and facilitated by experienced school leaders from Early Years settings and Primary schools across the city. All of the sessions will be led by phase specific specialists with some sessions delivered across phases to ensure each NQT has a clear picture of progression and is supported in their induction year.
The programme can be purchased as a full package or schools can have a 'pick and mix' approach and select individual events.
We are holding a free 'Welcome Event' for all NQTs who are teaching for the first time in the city, in a joint venture with Bristol Local Authority. This is taking place on Wednesday 12th September 2018, from 16:30 - 17:30 at the M Shed – Wapping Rd, BS1 4RN. Here you will be able to listen to NQTs who have completed their induction last year and a range of inspirational speakers from Bristol and the teaching schools who will talk about their roles and opportunities Bristol has for teaching beginning their careers in the city.
The sessions offered across the year are:
Wednesday 12th September 2018 - 4.30-5.30pm: FREE Welcome event at the M-Shed – NQTs, Bristol speakers and teaching school leaders will share what Bristol has to offer this year and the programme of support for new teachers in the city.

Bristol City Council work collaboratively with the teaching schools, fulfilling the statutory role of 'Appropriate Body' for NQT induction. They ensure that all newly qualified teachers are registered with the DfE and that statutory requirements are met, providing support and guidance to schools and NQTs throughout the induction period.
Please remember that you must also register your NQT with an Appropriate Body.
Further advice on the CPD programme can be provided should you require it: contact us at: bptsa@bristol-schools.uk or, if the enquiry is about registering with an appropriate body, please contact Jenny Brookes via email at jenny.brookes@bristol.gov.uk
