The Saffron Teaching School Hub works in collaboration with all primary and secondary schools within the areas of Braintree, Chelmsford, Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford. We can offer impartial advice and support you to explore what your teacher training options are and can signpost you to the relevant teacher training providers in the area where you live or may want to work.

All teacher training providers within our Hub area collaborate with each other and with the Saffron Teaching School Hub to ensure our trainees are given the best quality training and support to make them into the best teachers they can be for our local schools. 

Essex is a diverse county and there is plenty of opportunity to gain experience and work in different types of schools in different contexts within the Saffron Teaching School Hub area. With close links to London, many outstanding rated schools, excellent career opportunities once qualified and a plethora of Initial Teacher Training providers and routes to choose from, there will be something that will work for your unique personal circumstances.
