Legacy NQTs
With the new Early Career Framework starting in September, ECTs (formerly known as NQTs) will have a 2 year induction. NQTs that started their induction prior to September 2021, will continue with a 1 year induction, or equivalent if they are employed part-time and they have until September 2023 to complete this.
Please CLICK HERE for a letter from the new Appropriate Body for Lincolnshire for September 2021 onwards, LEAD Teaching School Hub, providing further details.
We are awaiting final clarification, but we believe that we will be able to transfer you automatically to the new Appropriate Body, LEAD Teaching School Hub in September. We will be in touch in due course to confirm.
We will continue to be your point of contact and provide all of the services as we have done previously, but working in partnership with LEAD Teaching School Hub.
