Initial Teacher Training
Saffron Teaching School Hub is committed to supporting the recruitment and retention of teachers across our region. We wholeheartedly believe that teaching is a rich, exciting and rewarding career, and through our Core Values of Excellence in Education, Collaborative and Inclusive Communities and Responsive and Service-Oriented support, we work with ITT providers, school leaders and local stakeholders to recruit brilliant teachers for our settings.
We have been working with West Essex SCITT and the DEEP Consortium to establish a new ITT provision in the Greater Dunmow Area. DEEP (Dunmow Excellence in Education Partnership) is a shining example of the power of partnership, working collegiately to introduce a tailored programme of training which will not only reflect the needs of their communities, but also provide a wealth of opportunities for people to train, teach and work in their local schools.
Find out more about the DEEP programme here.
We're also working in collaboration with the Harris Chafford Hundred South Essex and Unity Teaching School Hubs to host a Train to Teach in Essex event on 2 December at Beaulieu Park School, Chelmsford.
Attendees will be able to find out about a wide range of training opportunities within their area, speak to experts from providers across Essex, and find out how to sign up for teacher training programmes.

If you’d like to talk about getting involved in ITT, contact our Deputy Director, Kerrie McGivern.
In their recent Ofsted, our Lead Partner Teach First was celebrated for enabling programme members to build expertise, grow their capacity, and make an impact within their schools.

Venn Essex Maths Hub
This project explores and deepens participants’ pedagogic content knowledge, empowering teachers to enhance their classroom practice and to influence department-wide A-level teaching. It is an engine for improving student understanding of A-level maths and driving their subsequent success.
This programme supports teachers, who are within their first two years of teaching Core Maths, in developing specialist knowledge for teaching Core Maths and increases their confidence in teaching the Core Maths course.
