Induction programme for new staff

 

Project description

All new staff, whatever their experience, benefit from a structured induction programme. This includes a major briefing session before the start of the school year and then weekly sessions in which specific areas of the school's life and policies are dealt with in a systematic way. This links with the support given by SMT and HoDs.

Each new member of staff is also allocated a staff induction tutor (an experienced member of staff) who as well as observing lessons (the number reflecting the experience of the tutee) will organise regular meetings to discuss the induction process and other issues that might arise.

Specific provision is made for NQTs and Highgate also offers QT training in some cases.
