  • Primary NQT Training Programme

    Supporting and developing Newly Qualified Teachers in their first year of teaching is hugely important. The NQT Training Programme has been developed to reinforce key subject knowledge areas, as well as provide informal links and support throughout the year.

    Each workshop will have a specific theme as well as focused discussion about progress and support. Your ongoing development as a primary teacher is our main aim.

  • Primary NQT Training Programme 2018–19

    The School of Education’s NQT training programme is run in partnership with the Oxfordshire Teaching School’s Alliance.

    The Primary NQT Training Programme provides NQTs with an opportunity to reflect on their practice and integrate further ideas and approaches to develop their teaching. The programme will also provide a basis for on-going professional development with links into the School of Education’s range of Postgraduate Certificate courses and MA in Education modules.

    Staffing

    The sessions will be led by staff within the School of Education at Oxford Brookes University who are closely involved with the range of primary teacher training courses. Facilitators will work closely with experienced colleagues in OTSA partner schools in order to ensure that the sessions are relevant to the context within which the NQTs are working.
