Education Recovery Funding for 2020/21 Newly Qualified Teacher
FAO: SLT
In recognition of the challenging year this year’s NQTs have experienced, all state funded schools that currently have an NQT who is due to complete induction this summer, will have access to a one-off payment as part of the education recovery package. This is to further support the development of this cohort.
The funding available will be for the equivalent of an additional 5% off timetable for the next academic year, so these teachers have additional time to invest in their development.
This time off timetable is not statutory but it has been designed to be used flexibly, so that as many new teachers as possible can benefit from this additional support.
- Time off timetable can be grouped together in different ways, for example, taken as whole days or half days.
- Schools will be able to access DfE-accredited development materials based on the Early Career Framework for this cohort to use during this time off timetable.
- Schools will receive this funding in the summer term of 2022. Funding will be based on School Workforce Census returns.
