Teaching School Hubs
Notice Description
Teaching School Hubs (TSHs) summary TSHs are central to the training and development of teachers throughout their career, providing evidence-based programmes and qualifications. They support teachers to progress through whichever career pathway they choose. As Good or Outstanding lead schools, TSHs apply their experience of raising standards through delivery of teacher development in the local area. This in-depth understanding of the local delivery context and professional development knowledge enables TSHs to engage with local schools to drive up recruitment and to deliver high-quality teacher development provision. TSHs support the development of teachers working in all phases and school types in their local area, through delivery of Initial Teacher Training (ITT), the Early Career Framework (ECF), National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) and Appropriate Body (AB) services. These core TSH functions are integral to a high-quality and effective teacher development landscape. Further information on the expectations of TSHs from September 2024 can be found in Chapter 3 of the Teaching School Hubs: Application Guidance on Jaggaer. TSH eligibility criteria TSHs are designed to be school-led centres of excellence in professional development, run by some of the country's best schools and trusts. As such, the department's continued expectation is that only high-performing state schools and post-16 institutions are eligible to apply to become a TSH. The designation process will be open to state-funded mainstream schools, post-16 institutions, special schools, Alternative Provision (AP) settings and maintained nursery schools. It is a mandatory requirement that applicants are both an ECF and NPQ Delivery Partner and have experience of delivering ECF and NPQ training to participants. Applicants are required to confirm their eligibility when applying. Further to this, there are minimum school performance eligibility criteria that applicants must meet to be eligible. To be eligible to apply, all schools must meet the following eligibility criteria: - Rated Good or Outstanding at the latest Ofsted inspection. - Current Early Career Framework (ECF) Delivery Partner. - Current National Professional Qualification (NPQ) Delivery Partner. - Meet the school performance eligibility criteria relevant to their phase. If an application is successful, the lead school will be invited to sign a grant funding agreement lasting for five academic terms.
