MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

24/12/2024

Whilst for the majority of us, Christmas is a wonderful time, it can also be a very lonely time.

If any of our Past or Present Associate Teachers are struggling, please reach out to Jane, our Professional/Lead Mentor, who is only ever a message away.

We are here for you, whether it is the holidays or not.

22/12/2024

Even those our schools are now closed for the Christmas break, our inbox remains OPEN for applications.

All application forms will still be read and invitations for interviews WILL still be made over this period, so PLEASE DO STILL APPLY.

Wishing everyone a wonderful final day at school.

Term 1... COMPLETED!

17/12/2024

It may be the final week of the term, but with the new year often comes discussions around Employment and jobs.

So, we are busy planning a full day around 'How to secure your first Teaching post', alongside offering Mock Interviews to ALL of our ATs.

ALL of our ATs are having their Staged Learning Reflection meetings this week.

This is an excellent time to reflect on strengths and discuss how far ATs have come already on their teaching journey.

Working TOGETHER, we will then set targets for next term and the Alternative Placement.

07/12/2024

We guarantee that any applications received before 9am on Wednesday 11th December, will be offered an interview BEFORE we finish for Christmas, as long as the criteria for being shortlisted for an interview is met.

We don't like the idea of you waiting all over Christmas for an interview!

We are delighted to welcome Loudmouth to share with us their expertise in delivering the RHSE Curriculum and boosting our confidence in teaching topics outside of our subject specialism.

REMINDER: All Staged Learning Reflection documents should be submitted 24 hours prior to your meetings.
