If you would like to register your NQTs with the Cygnus Appropriate Body, please follow the instructions below, or contact cygnustas@whs.bucks.sch.uk for more information.
Schools should complete the online booking form available here, or by email from cygnustsa@whs.bucks.sch.uk as soon as they know they will be employing an NQT. Cygnus will confirm agreement to act as the Appropriate Body by authorisation of the registration of NQT(s) on NQT Manager.
Cygnus uses ‘NQT Manager’, an online NQT support and induction management system. On receipt of the booking form, Cygnus will create or update the school’s account. If it is a new account, the Headteacher will receive an email from the NQT Manager website with their username and password. Occasionally school’s email accounts move this email into the ‘junk/spam’ folder, so if you do not receive this email please look there first, before contacting Cygnus for assistance. If a school has previously registered with Cygnus the existing account remains live with the same login details.
Schools should register their NQTs on the Cygnus NQT Manager website account as soon as possible. This option is only available to schools once they have a Cygnus NQT Manager account.

In the case of NQTs who begin mid-term please contact Cygnus as soon as you know the first day of employment in your school.
Please note, we will backdate the beginning of the induction period a maximum of 10 working days before the date of formal registration with Cygnus, save in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of Cygnus.
