Your Support

Forget the image of London as a lonely city – in Islington, you’ll always have someone to turn to. From the start, you’ll receive comprehensive support and an induction programme that 96% of participants rate as excellent.

You’ll have access to one of four packages, depending on what kind of teacher you are. Each package has three elements: Introductory and Generic Sessions – includes classroom and behaviour management, planning and assessment, and EAL and Ethnic Minority Achievement issues.

Subject specific sessions – Early Years NQTs will focus on areas within the new foundation stage, Primary KS1&2 teachers will be offered additional subject support for core and foundation subjects, while secondary subject teachers will have access to additional subject sessions through a cross-borough network.

Peer support – highlights the contribution NQTs make to the professional development of their peers. After you’ve finished the induction period, we’ll continue your development as needs arise – giving you the chance to take responsibility and develop more quickly.
