I am currently a deputy head in an inner city comprehensive with a fully inclusive intake. I’m responsible for (among other things) all of our PGCE students, NQTs and second and third year teachers.
The good news is that you are not expected to know everything and to be perfect as an NQT. We know that you are still learning and it is our job in the senior leadership team to support you and to help you. I am also responsible for second and third year teachers. That’s because we know they are still learning too. In fact, we like to create a culture which acknowledges that we are all learning and however “long in the tooth” you can still make incremental improvements.
