I went along last Friday to meet my new school.
It was soooo informal and friendly. The HT just showed me round, gave me the whole tour, chatted about the history of the place etc.I spent half an hour in the classroom I'll be in (yr 2) working with a group of kids, and then chatted with the teacher (she's really lovely and we got on really well).
They said that because I had minimal classroom experience I wouldn't be expected to do any whole class teaching for the first 5 wks (basically the first half term) unless I wanted to start doing starters etc. She also said that she'd be in school during the summer hols and she'd give me a ring so I could come in to discuss planning, behaviour, schemes etc before we start.
And they have a day when the current yr 1's will be visiting the yr2 classroom for a day in July so I'll be going in then to meet the class and spend the day in the classroom.Also, one of the mentors in school trained via the GTP so they know what it's like.The school gave me the CRB and health forms (so I guess that's different to the SCITT) and the contract to fill in.
It's all really exciting!
