A personal statement for an NQT applying for their first position. It is for a nursery teaching post but is easily adapted to fit KS1 and KS2 teacher applications.
I’ve included an example half term action plan I use for NQTs. This is an Autumn 1 plan which is usually focused on relationships etc.
It breaks down the success criteria and actions the NQT can take to achieve the target. Each target is related to TS.
This resource is comprised of two items:
1) Personal statement for job application to a faith school
2) A cover letter/personal statement for job application to a community primary school
These letters have been tried and tested and have secured interviews for the author on a number of occasions. These exemplars are intended as a guide only and it is advised that job seekers adapt the information contained within the documents to reflect their skills/abilities/experience.

I used to sell my guide for £5, but the world is a bit unusual right now so i’ve decided to make it free. I really hope it will help new teachers out with their first year of teaching.
In return, if possible, please post a story mention for me @ForTeachers on your instagram, or to share my channel with others. This is not a requirement but I would truly appreciate you doing this so I can help as many other teachers as I possibly can with my content. Simply sharing the channel via word of mouth to others is really useful too :)

I hope this guide will help you, even if just slightly. If your teacher training or NQT year has been disrupted as a result of recent global disruption, my heart goes out to you. Your time will come to teach! Stay safe and stay strong.

P.S - The guide can be viewed as an online ebook document, but also looks nice when printed and turned into a physical booklet. High quality print makes it shine!

NQT Mentor Report Wrting Support
This pack is an NQT mentor report writing support. It supports those who are mentoring an NQT through the induction period to write reports with reflect the teacher standards. I have mentored NQTs through induction over many years and would have found it really useful to have this resource as a guide.
This resource includes:
A structure for writing the report which can be copied and pasted into the Local Authority template
A four page document with key questions and examples linked to each teacher standard which can be used to help write the report
My experience mentoring NQTs has been in primary schools, so there will be some phrases that are more tailored to primary settings e.g. reference to the teacher’s class, rather than classes, but this would be easy to adapt to suit secondary NQTs.
This is a guide rather than complete reports that can be copied and pasted. This is because NQT reports must be written about the individual teacher. However, it will certainly save time and give some valuable pointers to help you to write a report that is truly reflective of the teacher’s strengths and next steps.
NQT is hard enough without the stress of trying to remember how to meet teaching standards. This is my document, hopefully it will help give you ideas you can demonstrate this in your school experience. Top tip: don’t be afraid to tell colleagues which standards you’re struggling for evidence in before reviews or observations.
Really hope this saves you some time :)
