Why Oxford Brookes?

Supporting and developing Newly Qualified Teachers in their first years of teaching is hugely important. Our new, enhanced Primary NQT Training Programme aims to provide beginner teachers with the additional knowledge, confidence and support they need to progress successfully through their introductory stage of teaching.

Following the success of 2018 NQT programme, Oxford Brookes is delighted to be hosting two new programmes from September 2019. Run in partnership with the Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance (OTSA) each session will be research-informed, providing teachers with access to a network of educational researchers. Developed and delivered by lecturers from within the Oxford Brookes community allows NQTs access to the academic expertise, knowledge and experience developed from within the University.

NQT programme content

This programme helps develop teacher expertise in English, Science and Maths, and we are proud to be recognised by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics.

This year, with the inclusion of subjects such as art, drama and music into the programme, we will also nurture the passion and confidence of teachers to develop across a wider breadth of subjects.

We are very pleased to be able to offer each NQT membership and access to the Chartered College of Teaching, which is included in the cost of our programme. Our Newly Qualified Teachers get automatic, free access to the Chartered College’s excellent range of online communities, forums, events and conferences. This provides another way to share and discuss best practice.
