Diary of an NQT: Saying goodbye to year 11

As his year 11 students begin departing for study leave, our NQT diarist begins the countdown to results day

This week has seen my final three hours of curriculum time with my year 11 students. On Friday, they will go on study leave and, although I will be hosting revision and intervention sessions for certain members of the class, this is the last time that I will teach them together as a full group.

My lessons with this group of 24 young adults have been some of the happiest times throughout my NQT year.

Taking over as their GCSE teacher half-way through the course was daunting but the students have made my life incredibly easy. They are a studious, engaged and lively group, and it has been a real privilege to teach them and see them progress throughout the year.
