Changes to Statutory Induction of NQTs - Additional Funding for NQTs currently undertaking induction

In recognition of the challenging initial teacher training and induction newly qualified teachers (NQTs) have experienced due to the pandemic, all state-funded schools that currently have an NQT who is due to complete induction this summer will have access to a one-off payment to further support the development of this cohort.

What you'll get

All state-funded schools that currently have an NQT who is due to complete induction this summer will be eligible for a one-off payment of funding for the equivalent of an additional 5% off timetable for next academic year so these teachers have additional time to invest in their development.

This time off timetable is not statutory but it has been designed to be used flexibly so that as many new teachers as possible can benefit from this additional support. We trust schools and their leaders to know what works best for them and their staff. Time off timetable can be grouped together in different ways, for example, taken as whole days or half days off.
