Please note the entire programme should be attended by all staff involved in any aspect of official Teaching Training - NQT, GTP and those intending to complete the OTT during this year.

Events in RED should be attended by all staff new to Tollbar Academy.

Events in ORANGE are to be delivered by faculty members.

Events in GREEN are for trainees and NQTs but are open to any other member of staff.

Events in BLACK are for NQTs only.

Any member of staff who has already covered a topic (e.g. during placement here as an ITT student) should seek guidance about whether changes and updates to the topic are sufficient to warrant attending again.
