Threshold Application Process

As a Newly Qualified Teacher you will receive a personalised programme of guidance and support. The induction period provides the tools NQTs require to be successful teachers.

The induction includes two main elements:

  • a personalised programme of professional development and support (provided by the Training School although guidance in terms of identifying areas for development is required from the School Mentor), and
  • an assessment against the core professional standards for teachers.

The induction is assessed across the equivalent of three full school terms, with assessment at the end of each term and can be completed full or part-time.

Creating the Notre Dame Standard of Practice

Why be a mentor?

Mentoring provides a rewarding dimension to the role of teaching. Supporting a trainee or qualified colleague is an invaluable two way process to reflect on our current practice and explore new approaches to teaching.

Mentoring is a key Post Threshold standard which develops pedagogic knowledge, planning, reflecting, target setting and management skills. enhance the whole school culture, improve and develop the knowledge and pedagogic skills of all involved and generate a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.

We provide a training course for mentors that is accredited by Suffolk and Norfolk Initial Teacher Program (SNITT).

We have also developed a variety of resources for mentoring trainees, qualified staff and researching the impact of mentoring.
