As we draw close to the end of the academic year, Andy McColl is in conversation with Ross Powell, an NQT at a primary school in Wiltshire about reaching the end of his first year in education.

Ross was also the very first guest to appear on Ideas in Education. Episode One is still available to download and listen to.

We also have some advice for the next batch of NQTs starting in September.

But, prepare for negative side of teaching as we hear anonymous accounts from teachers who have quit the profession, some of which did not finish their NQT year.
