Can an NQT work as a peripatetic music teacher and complete induction?
A – Yes. As with all posts offering induction, the placement must offer sufficient breadth of experience to allow the NQT to meet, and demonstrate that they have met, all the induction/core standards. This means regular classroom teaching in a mainstream school. This may constitute a minority share of the music teacher’s weekly work but only mainstream classroom teaching will be inductable. Similar rules will apply in this situation as apply to teachers working part-time in more than one school. NQTs who are thinking about taking up this kind of post may want to contact the Federation of Music Services for advice.
