Exceptional Support for Early Career Teachers at Manor MAT
We believe the first years in teaching are the foundation of a fulfilling and successful career. That’s why our Early Career Teachers (ECTs) receive not only the full statutory entitlements of support, but also a unique and enhanced development offer designed to nurture confident, reflective, and resilient practitioners - aligned with our core values of integrity, ambition, collaboration and inclusion.
A Comprehensive ECT Induction
As part of our commitment to your success, every ECT in the Trust benefits from:
Statutory release time across your induction period - ensuring protected time to engage fully with your development and learning.
An assigned mentor and an induction tutor based in your school - so you have consistent, expert guidance built into your day-to-day role.
Access to high-quality induction materials, aligned with the national Early Career Framework and supported by our partner hub, Manor Teaching School Hub - enabling you to build strong pedagogical foundations.
