Three NQTs have recorded the key events and their emotional highs and lows during their first year of teaching in an online blog.
At Ilkley Grammar School, Leeds, English NQT Laura Wilson blogs about her day off sick and at Manor School, York, History NQT Adam Otway talks about his first parents' evenings. Meanwhile, Modern Foreign Languages NQT Micheala Simpson from Rossett School, Harrogate shares her thoughts on her dreadful first lesson.
Once over, they reflect on what they have written and offer tips and advice for others on how to cope with the variety of situations they have come across in the past year.
