Register your school for our NQT programme

For the first time at Ark Teacher Training we are opening our exciting NQT Programme to schools outside of the Ark Network. If you would like to find out more or discuss programme costs, please contact us. The programme is available to schools in Greater London, Birmingham, Portsmouth and East Sussex.

All early career teachers are entitled to structured training and support, allowing them to thrive in the profession. Our evidence-based NQT Programme will ensure your school offers the best provision and is well placed to meet the expectations set out in the Early Careers Framework.

Through exemplary training for NQTs and support for mentors, Ark Teacher Training supports the development of the very best teachers.

Ark Teacher Training was rated as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted for our initial teacher training programme. We have used our expertise in teacher development to create a rigorous NQT programme, providing an exceptional foundation for those at the beginning of their careers, when the learning curve is the steepest.

We know that to develop teachers that excel we also need to develop highly skilled mentors. Our mentor training, included as part of the NQT package, supports mentors to be school-wide models for exemplary practice.
