The Three Rivers Teaching Alliance together with Ambition and Northumbria University is pleased to announce that our highly successful NQT training programme will be embedded into a fully funded Early Career Framework programme, starting in September 2020.

Research shows that the first few years of teacher development are the most crucial. That’s why our highly supportive Early Career programme aims to develop knowledge, understanding and confidence, supporting NQTs with a range of practical strategies and techniques to help them survive their first years of teaching. The Early Career Teachers programme is a blended learning experience that provides teachers and their mentors with high quality, evidence-informed training and materials alongside scaffolding to ensure effective mentoring.

£195 per NQT

Last year we delivered NQT training to 35 NQT’s from schools across the region. The NQT Training Programme programme provides schools with the ideal opportunity to develop and support NQTs within the context of an outstanding school, guaranteeing a safe yet challenging and relevant learning environment.

Why do Forest School Induction Training?

The ethos of Forest Schools is to allow children the time and space to explore and learn in the outdoor environment. We’re passionate about Forest School and believe that as many children as possible should benefit from all it has to offer.

The Forest School Induction Training is aimed at all those who love the great outdoors and want to develop both their practical skills and understanding of children’s access to outdoor education. The course is perfect for teachers that wish to experience ways in which to incorporate the EYFS and National Curriculum into outdoor education so they can return to their own school with a vision as well as practical ideas for their setting.

The one day Forest School Induction Training for Teachers course is charged at £70 a head with a minimum booking of 3 delegates. Bookings for more than 10 delegates will be charged at £60 a head.

What will the Induction Training cover?

We aim to give teachers a clear understanding of the ethos and principles of Forest School to enable them to carry out forest school activities in their own school.

The course covers practical skills such as fire lighting, whittling and campfire cooking and demonstrates a wide range of activities aimed at curriculum inclusion. In depth reviews of Health and safety procedures and policies including tool box talks will be delivered.
