Diary of an NQT: Time to say farewell

SecEd readers have followed the trials and tribulations of our NQT diarist throughout this academic year. The time has come to say goodbye…

I know people always say how quickly time flies, but wow – I can’t believe I’m writing my last NQT diary entry for SecEd.

It definitely feels like the end of the year already, but it doesn’t feel as though eight months have gone by since I wrote my first.

I’ll never stop wishing my life away waiting for the holidays – it’s the only way teachers cope – but perhaps I should take more time to appreciate the last weeks of the last half-term of my NQT year.
Everything is slowing down. The year 11s and 13s are long gone and the year 10s are off timetable too – next week they’ll be gone for good on work experience.
