Diary of an NQT: Next year’s timetables

Discussions about next year’s timetables have begun, with our biologist specialist NQT diarist happy to continue teaching chemistry at A level

Before I started this summer term, I thought that it would feel as long as the autumn term did, especially considering that the first half-term is the same number of weeks as when I started in September.

However, this time around it feels like we keep ticking things off as we speed along and that the time just keeps ticking by faster and faster.

It feels like yesterday when I first started teaching some of my year 11 groups and now there are just over two weeks left with them. That equates to just two lessons with one of my groups!
