This template can be used to introduce yourself to the children in your new class. It gives children the opportunity to get to know you before school starts in September, preparing them for the transition and reducing any first day nerves. This is particularly useful if you’re an NQT as most children won’t recognise who you are, as they would not have seen you around school or been able to meet you on a step up/transition day due to the restrictions of Covid-19.

In this guide you will find everything you need to know to pass your teacher training with flying colours! The support and advice presented within this document is based on the personal experiences and opinions of the educators involved, who have all taken various routes into teaching. A range of topics have been covered based on the frequently asked questions of future trainees, to provide some initial guidance on what to expect throughout your training and prepare you for September!
