Exeter Supply Partnership Update and Developments

​​We are excited to see what this academic year (our 4th year of operation) has in store. 18/19 was busy with new schools joining us and we covered our highest number of supply bookings to date, 4,854 (an additional 2,204 bookings since our first year!).

It has been a great summer recruiting more teachers and teaching assistants to join our existing fantastic team. We had a very successful recruitment day and in total have welcomed 38 new team members. This takes our total number of supply teachers and teaching assistants to 125.

We are working on some exciting new plans, including:

• Support for our 20+ NQT’s to help them succeed while working on supply and go on to complete their NQT Induction
• Developing our free recruitment and long-term cover support for schools
• Building on our teaching assistant service

We will continue to keep you updated on these developments throughout the year.

We already have some key events in this year’s diary including the DAPH Conference, University of Exeter Recruitment Fair and Marjon University Teacher Employability Fair. We are looking forward to attending them all.

Our key targets for this year are:

• Increase total number of supply bookings
• Develop our recruitment service and long-term cover support for schools
• Expand our Teaching Assistant service
• Support our NQT’s to continue to develop into amazing confident teachers
• Explore new opportunities which will benefit our teachers, teaching assistants and schools
• Continue to increase the number of teachers and schools using our service

​It’s shaping up to be another busy year!
