Background (please accept what I write below as fact and not subjective):
- I am a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT). After PGCE training, NQTs must complete 3 full time terms of statutory induction. You are graded per term with the final term being pass/fail. I commenced induction in March 2019. In November 2019 I was forced to resign from the school against my wishes with a poor grade that is based on fabricated paperwork because a senior staff took a dislike to me because they thought I did something that I didn't do. The poor grade that is a “lie” is preventing me getting a new full time job because it tells potential employers that I am unlikely to pass induction and will require extra effort not to- all completely false. I sued the school and was granted a default judgement because the school refused to respond to the case. After High Court Enforcement became involved they eventually applied to set judgement aside- a set aside hearing is due to take place soon but that is for another thread.
- At the time in Autumn 2019 I complained to the Education body National Teacher Accreditation (NTA) that signs off on inductions but they claim their remit is to look at schools as a whole and not deal with individual cases. NTA did briefly visit the school, acknowledged my concerns, but said that as an individual case it fell outside their remit. Their remit actually says NTA is responsible for making sure schools are doing as they should “at all times”. I have evidence that proves my case against the school but NTA refuse to look at the evidence. NTA are also publishers of the grade that is a lie, of which the evidence can prove. I have even shown NTA the default judgement but they will only accept the faulty paperwork from the school as is even though it is a lie.
If successful at preventing default judgement being set aside, I figure my next step is to take legal action against NTA. My aim is simply to get them to relook at the grade and sign me off induction, but if they refuse, I am considering claiming for future loss of earnings as a result of not following remit fairly and defamation since they have confirmed in writing that they intend to continue publishing this “lie”. It may sound crazy but for claim purposes since the poor grade could prevent me getting a full time teaching job until I retire, I am looking at claiming future loss of earnings for that entire (25 year) period (nearly £1 million).
Questions/Comments??
