“Fantastic. The course leader was inspirational and provided numerous ideas for making maths more creative – I will be looking at putting some of these ideas and more into schemes of learning”

“A very informative day with a good balance of activities. I found it particular useful identifying potential sources of evidence and thinking of questions to ask NQTs to assess them against each standard”
Support for Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs)
Leicester Learning Services has an enviable reputation for providing excellent support for newly qualified teachers (NQTs), not only in maintained schools and academies within the city but in academies and independent schools across the region. LLS offer 2 support packages that are designed to complement in-school induction programmes:
1. Appropriate Body
As the Appropriate Body we have overall responsibility for the quality assurance of induction arrangements for NQTs. Key strands within this role are as follows.
- NQT registration and all associated administration;
- guidance provided in Leicester City Council’s induction handbook (The Essential Guide to NQT Induction for Headteachers, Principals and Induction Tutors)with supporting documentation;
- access for NQTs to a free place on The Essential Guide to NQT Induction training and an NQT handbook;
- scrutiny of NQT assessment forms; and
- access to one free ½ day quality assurance visit when an NQT is not meeting standards or a concern is raised as part of the Support Service for NQTs experiencing difficulties.
2. The Full Package
LLS are justifiably proud of its record in helping NQTs to develop their classroom practice through the provision of a professional learning programme which operates throughout the academic year. Key strands of this include:
- all the strands of the Appropriate Body Package;
- free access to all courses provided in the NQT Professional Learning Programme;
- free access to training for new Induction Tutors and refresher training for experienced tutors; and
- access to additional support in the Support Service for NQTs experiencing difficulties.
