Diary of an NQT: So much to do, so little time

Our NQT diarist is battling against the clock to ensure his examination students are ready before they go, but also has a looming controlled assessment moderation day…

And we’re back! As I write, I am only two days into the summer term and already things feel like they are going too fast.

I have counted the lessons I have remaining with year 11 and year 12 and it looks like it is going to be a real squeeze for some groups. We have a teacher training day tomorrow and taking into account bank holidays and other exams in the school it is really a pinch.

Unfortunately, these days away from the classroom seem to affect the same groups for me, whereas I have at least three additional lessons with my groups that aren’t affected by imminent examinations!
