NQT Induction and the possibility of accruing and carrying over time from one period of employment to another, in what circumstances can this apply?
A – Periods of employment of less than one school term cannot count towards induction. This information therefore concerns those NQTs who have a part time contract of a term or more. For example, if an NQT is employed for a full term on a 0.5 time contract, this can count towards the induction period and they would be recorded as having completed half a term of induction. However, although it would equate to the same amount of time, an NQT cannot work full time for half a term and count this as 0.5 terms of induction. The key point is that the NQT must be employed over a consecutive period of at least one school term.
