One of the things I enjoy about the autumn term is watching new staff settle in to our happy little school; I get pleasure from seeing them begin to form relationships with their new colleagues as well as with the children. Although we are only a two-form entry junior school with just eight classes, since we have engaged with School Direct, each September sees a little flurry of new staff joining our team.
This September has been no exception, as two graduates have joined us straight from university to work for a year as teaching assistants, two staff who worked last year as teaching assistants have started their School Direct year, and two outstanding School Direct trainees have become NQTs. In addition, we were very excited to be approved as one of only 10 providers nationally to run a new Primary Teacher Training course specialising in PE, so we also have four sports graduates working with us for a year until they gain their QTS and a PGCE for good measure.
