Disclaimers:
1) This document acts as a contractual agreement between the Local Authority and (insert name of school), and sets the expectations of service delivery between both parties. If you have chosen to access the TES subscription, please note that the contract with TES is determined by the supplier, and is beyond the control of any service within this agreement. If service delivery is impacted upon by factors beyond our control, such as temporary systems failure or full systems cessation, we will endeavor to inform you at the earliest opportunity.
2) The maintenance, delivery and success of the Primary NQT Pool Process is dependent upon Headteachers offering their time to interview and observe candidates (see pricing structure for details of the monetary benefit involved in this). Cambridgeshire County Council cannot commit to successfully delivering this process on our own, as the integrity of the Quality Assurance is dependent upon Headteacher involvement.
