We're delighted to announce that Saffron Teaching School Hub has been redesignated by the DfE as the Teaching School Hub for Braintree, Chelmsford, Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford for the next four years. This follows the tendering process that went out to schools and Trusts in September 2023. We were originally designated as one of six ‘Test and Learn’ Hubs in 2020, becoming one of 87 Hubs in the national roll-out in 2021.
We are thrilled to continue supporting professional learning, collegiality and best practice through the delivery of the Golden Thread set out in the DfE’s Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy. It is a privilege to support colleagues from the start of their careers in their ITT training through to ECT induction and ongoing development through the growing NPQ suite of programmes to senior leadership and beyond.
The team at Saffron Teaching School Hub are incredibly excited to build on the strong foundations and partnerships developed so far to support the profession in developing the teachers and leaders our pupils deserve. We look forward to working with everyone for another four years.
