Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs)

Tollbar MAT welcomes applications from newly qualified teachers (NQTs) and has consistently attracted a healthy number of NQTs year on year. We recognise the enthusiasm, energy and optimism that teachers new to the profession bring and as such we give wholehearted support to the induction process and the importance of laying secure foundations for future professional and career development.

The current teaching staff indicates the support given to NQTs:

• Many of our teachers were originally appointed to the MAT when they were NQTs
• Of these, 30 teachers are now in promoted posts

NQTs should consider applying to Tollbar MAT for the following reasons:

• A comprehensive NQT programme supported by an expert team of mentors
• Outstanding teaching resources and classrooms
• Rapid career progression for the right candidates (NQTs are often appointed to management posts very early in their careers)
• High expectations of students which create a positive learning environment for staff and students alike

At Tollbar MAT you will find a warm welcome, excellent support from colleagues and an ethos which recognises you as a professional.
