Induction procedures - Club leaders/adults and Peripatetic teachers

Aims:

At The King’s School the aim of our induction programme is to ensure all club leaders/adults and peripatetic teachers understand and share the vision, Christian ethos and practices of the school and feel fully involved and able to produce a high standard of performance, as quickly as possible.

Effective induction is key to building a culture of continuous improvement. All newly appointed club leaders and peripatetic teachers will receive a programme of structured support and guidance appropriate to their role, ensuring all individuals:

• Feel welcome and comfortable and integrate successfully into the school
• Understand the importance of the Christian ethos and school values and their role in promoting these
• Understand what is expected of them and are provided with support in meeting those expectations
• Are able to gain experience within the context of the school Vision priorities
• Are able to contribute to improving and developing the overall effectiveness of our school
• Are able to meet the needs of the whole school community

Responsibilities:

Overall induction is the responsibility of the Senior Leadership team (SLT).

Procedures:

The induction process applies to all newly appointed club leaders/adults and peripatetic teachers and the specific induction programmes are designed to meet the needs of the different roles within the school.

Records will be kept by the Club coordinator detailing when the induction has taken place.

Regular evaluation of the process will inform the SLT of the need for further support and of any changes required to the induction process/ procedures.
